Most museum passes are purchased by the Friends of the Library for use by Stoneham Library patrons. Passes circulate for one day only to Stoneham residents 18 years of age or older with a Stoneham library card in good standing unless otherwise indicated. Reservations cannot be made without a library card and can be made in person or by telephone. All passes must be picked up during library hours. In the event a patron cannot use a pass which has already been picked up, we ask that they make an effort to return it to the library before the reservation date so that others may use it.
Patrons also have the option of reserving passes online. You may choose a date up to 90 days in advance and must have your library card to use this service.
Click Ticket Keeper to reserve your pass.
Single-use only passes:
Passes may be picked up 48 hours before your reservation date. Each pass is only valid for the day printed on the pass and therefore they do not have to be returned to the library after use.
