Museum Pass Policy
ELIGIBILITY
- Passes are available to Massachusetts residents 18 years old or older with a valid SAILS library card.
- Should your local library close to the public or be decertified by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, you may no longer borrow passes.
PASS GUIDELINES
- Passes should be reserved through our online reservation system. However, if you need assistance, the Front Desk can make the reservation for you either in person or on the phone. The patron is responsible for reviewing their confirmation email to ensure accuracy.
- Due to the high demand for a limited number of museum passes, and in an effort to give all patrons an equitable chance at these free and reduced admissions prices, we ask that all patrons limit their reservations to twice a month at any one museum.
- Only one museum pass per day per family can be reserved.
- All passes must be returned by 9:00 a.m. the next day unless you are directed otherwise. Passes returned after 9:30 a.m. will result in a fine of $10.00. For each day the pass is not returned you will be fined $15.00 per day. If you return the passes late three times, you will lose the right to borrow museum passes. Refusal to pay any fines will result in the automatic loss of museum pass privileges.
- If you lose a museum pass, you will be charged $50.00 payable to the Friends of the Taunton Public Library. Refusal to pay this fine will result in the automatic loss of museum pass privileges.
- Please return the pass to the Front Desk. If the library is closed, put the pass inside the case and place it into the media slot of our Book Drop in the back of the building. The Book Drop is emptied once per day, at 8:00am.
- If your plans have changed and you will not need your pass, please call the Front Desk to cancel or click the “NEED TO CANCEL?” link in your “Reservation Confirmed…” email.

These passes are provided for you through the generous fundraising efforts of the Friends of the Taunton Public Library, not through a state budget. Please be a Friend; respect these guidelines.
