Introduce your family (and yourself) to art, history, nature and so much more! Museum passes are made possible through the generosity of the Friends of the Township Library of Lower Southampton.

Guidelines:

• Museum passes are available to Bucks County Free Library cardholders who are at least 18 years of age, with accounts in good standing (no fines or overdue items). Passes cannot be reserved or checked out by patrons under the age of 18.
• Passes should be reserved using the link on this page.  Use your Bucks County Free Library card number and PIN.  You can only reserve through this page–not through the library catalog.
• Some passes may be printed at home, others must must be picked up and returned ONLY to the Township Library of Lower Southampton. Passes MAY be returned in the library book drop, even after hours.
• Printable passes are for a single day, other passes are borrowed for 3 days.  Late fines are $10 per day with a maximum fine of $50.  Please be courteous and return passes on time–remember that someone may have reserved it for the day after you!
• If the pass is lost, the patron will be charged the cost of a new pass, which can be anywhere from $150 to $300.
• Contact venues directly for hours of operation, parking, and directions. Please note that passes may not provide admission to all exhibits. The library is not responsible if a museum is unexpectedly closed or if a pass has not been returned on time.

Answers to common questions:

How far in advance can I make a reservation?
Reservations can be made up to 45 days in advance.

How long does a museum pass check out for?
Museum passes check out for 3 days except for printable passes, which can only be used for the one day on the date for which they are reserved.

Can I renew a museum pass?
No.

Where do I pick up my pass?
Passes can be picked up at the Information Desk. Bring your library card and a valid ID.  Printable museum passes can be printed at home or at the Library or shown on your phone; there is no pass to pick up or return.

How do I return the pass?
Printable one-day passes do not get returned.  All other passes must be returned to the Township Library of Lower Southampton.  They may be returned in our outdoor book drop, any time of day.  If you return our pass to another Bucks County library by mistake, it will not get checked in properly and you will accrue late fines of $10 per day.

I checked out a museum pass. Why doesn’t it show up on my library account?
Our museum passes are on a different system than other library materials.

How do I view/cancel my reservations?
Click here to go to the reservation page. Then click on the Login icon in the upper righthand corner. Enter your library card number and PIN.  View reservations and cancel them on this page. (Note: Printable passes can only be modified or cancelled by library staff members.)

What happens if I don’t pick up a pass I reserved?
Failing to pick up a reserved pass will affect your ability to reserve more passes in the future. If a pass is not picked up by the end of the day of reservation, the reservation will be removed and marked as “not picked up.”  Because the demand for passes is high, a second “not picked up” will block you from making any new reservations for 30 days.  Please remember to cancel your reservation if your plans change so that someone else can use the pass.
