Museum Passes

Updated February 26, 2021

DID YOU KNOW? Jones Library patrons can now get free tickets to the Pioneer Valley Symphony's virtual events. Learn more.

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 offer a 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.

Printable Passes

  • Children's Museum at Holyoke
  • Eric Carle Museum *
  • MASS MoCA
  • Smith College Museum of Art *
* These passes are temporarily unavailable

For additional information about our museum passes, including information about admission discounts and limitations, please view our Museum Pass Brochure (PDF).

IMPORTANT: We cannot guarantee that our printable passes will be accepted. 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.
