Manchester City Library

Now that summer vacation is just around the corner, you might want to consider reserving and using one or more of our wonderful library museum passes. The library museum passes are a special service designed to offer access to local and regional museums and save families some money in the process. Our passes are a courtesy provided by proceeds from the Manchester City Library’s supremely popular book sales. Museum passes are available to Manchester City Library cardholders only.

As mentioned earlier, the passes to many popular local and regional museums, for example: The Currier Museum, Millyard Museum, Museum of Science, and Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Here is a full list of museums that we currently offer passes for. Passes may be reserved online with your Manchester Library Card or by calling the library at 624-6550 ext. 3314 to make your reservation.

Rules for borrowing a Museum Pass:

• You must have a valid, fine-free Manchester City Library card, and be 18 years old or older.
• You may reserve a pass up to two months in advance.
