3. Each Library location has a limited number of Passports for each of the 13 museums.
4. The overdue fine for Museum Passports is $2.00 per day, with a maximum limit of $20.00. The charge for a LOST Museum Passport is $60.00.
5. Only one Passport per household may be checked out at one time.
6. Museum Passports must be returned to the main desk of the library location from which they were checked out.
7. Great Kids Museum Passports cannot be renewed or reserved.
8. There will be a waiting period of 24 hours after returning a Museum passport before another Passport from the same Museum may be checked out to any member of the same family.

The Library recommends that you check the websites of each museum before your visit to note current hours and exhibition information.
