Museum Passes

During our closure, our physical museum passes and coupon passes are not available. Our print-on-demand passes can still be reserved and printed, but we cannot guarantee that they will be accepted by the museum.

IMPORTANT: You will need to contact the museum directly to confirm that it is open and to determine if and how the print-on-demand pass can be used.

The Friends of the Jones Libraries provide passes to area museums that library cardholders can borrow. Some of these passes allow free admission and others allow discounted admission. The number of adults and children admitted varies from pass to pass.

Passes at the Jones Library


The Jones Library is excited to introduce a new print-on-demand system for our museum passes. Patrons no longer need to visit the library to check out and return circulating passes. Instead, by making a reservation, you generate a single-use pass that can be printed anywhere and presented at the museum on the date of your reservation.

Benefits of Print-on-Demand


  • Increased availability of passes
  • By not circulating a physical pass, we eliminate associated replacement fees
  • Pass availability is not limited by the library’s open hours
