Did you know that the library provides free passes to over 20 Long Island and New York City museums and educational venues? With a pass, you can save up to $25 or more per person on museum entry fees. The program includes the following museums: The Intrepid Museum, MoMa, the Guggenheim, Cradle of Aviation Museum, Old Bethpage Village Restoration, Fire Island Lighthouse, an Empire Pass for NYS parks, LI Children's Museum and more. This pass program is possible thanks to the cooperation of Suffolk County public libraries working together to secure discounted prices.
Our museum passes can be reserved by Mastics-MorichesShirley Community card holders who are at least 18 years of age. Patrons need a valid, unexpired, unblocked, adult library card with fines not exceeding $25.00 to reserve a museum pass. This includes patrons who have signed up for a temporary library card via the website. Patrons must present their library card and
proper identification (ID) when visiting a venue or museum. The ID must match the name on the museum pass.
How often may I reserve a museum pass?
Each cardholder can make one reservation a week (for a total of four reservations per month), and each museum may be reserved only once per month. The reservation week runs from Saturday to Friday.
How long can I keep the museum pass?
You may check out your museum pass (on the library card that you used to reserve the pass) at any Adult Reference Desk no earlier than 3:00 p.m. the day prior to your reservation. If an earlier pickup time is necessary, please call that branch to find out if the pass is available. On occasion, passes are returned before their due date.
The pass is due back by 10:00 a.m. on the day your pass is due.
