Who may borrow museum passes?
Scotch Plains Public Library and Fanwood Memorial Library resident adult cardholders. Cardholders must be in good standing.

Are there other rules about borrowing the passes?
Yes, there are several. Only one museum pass can be checked out per household. Once a museum pass has been checked out for a particular museum the household members must wait three months before taking out that same pass. These rules help everybody get a chance to visit the museums.

Can I reserve a museum pass?

Are museum passes free?

What if I don't return a pass on time?
Passes MUST BE RETURNED IN PERSON to the Fanwood Memorial Library circulation desk, NOT in the book drop!
Failure to return the pass will result in a fine of $10.00 per day (with a maximum fine of $200.00). Failure to return the pass container will result in a fine of $5.00.

Who pays for the MuseumPass program?
MuseumPass is made possible by the generous joint support of the Friends of the Fanwood Memorial Library and the Scotch Plains Public Library.

Who are the Friends of the Library?
