Museum Pass

The Museum Pass Program is underwritten in its entirety by the Friends of the Library. All that’s required to use it is a valid library card and a spirit of adventure!

What it is…

A Museum and Cultural Pass Program for the entire family, providing Schenectady County Public Library families with the opportunity to get reduced or free entrance fees into many of our outstanding historic and cultural venues.

How it Works:

  • Passes are available from the Central Library of the Schenectady County Public Library located at 99 Clinton Street, Schenectady, NY 12305.
  • Passes must be returned to a staff member at the Circulation Desk of the Central Library during regular library hours. Do not use a Drop Box.
  • Passes are available to Schenectady County residents (18 and older) who possess a valid library card.
  • Passes are first-come, first served; there are no requests or renewals.
  • One pass per family at any one time.
