You can browse and reserve a museum pass from home! Most of our museum passes are generously funded by The Chelmsford Friends of the Library. If you need help or have questions, please contact the reference desk at 978-256-5521 x1211.
See below for important policies and guidelines for reserving museum passes.
Chelmsford residents, and active members of the Chelmsford Friends of the Library may reserve passes up to 60 days in advance, using your library card. Join our Friends group.
Anyone can check out a pass on the day of use, without a reservation, provided the pass is not already reserved.
Reservation Limits: One pass per day; up to 5 passes per 30 day period; each museum only once per 30 day period.
Physical passes may be picked up at the Borrower Services Desk of the Main Library, up to one day before use, and must be returned on the date of use, by the end of the day. Passes may be returned in either book drop at the Main Library.
If the library is closed on the day before a physical pass is to be used it may be picked up, up to 2 days before use.
Coupon passes may be picked up, up to 7 days in advance, and do not need to be returned.
If you will not be able to use the pass and need to cancel your reservation, please cancel your pass online or call the library at 978-256-5521 x1211. Failure to cancel reservations will result in a denial of museum pass bookings for a 30 day period. Please cancel reservations 24 hours in advance.
If your failure to return the pass on time prevents others from using that pass, you must pay their admission. Chronic abuse may result in the suspension of your pass privileges.
Please check the library's hours for holidays and other days when the library is closed and you cannot pick up passes. Check each museum's web site (linked below) for up-to-date hours of operation and directions.
