How Do I Get Started?

To get started you must have a library card for one of our participating libraries. Check their site for locations

How it Works!

Check out a free general admission pass for up to two people at participating cultural institutions!
  1. Select a destination to visit.
  2. Bring the laminated card to the circulation desk with your student ID/photo ID.
  3. You will receive a date-due slip that admits 2 people to the destination through the date printed on the slip.
  4. Restrictions may apply. Check with the destination before your visit.
  5. Redeem the printout for admission tickets by the printed date.  The printout is valid for seven days from the time of check-out.
One pass at a time per person per week.   First come, first served, till the passes run out.  
The passes are not renewable and no hold requests can be placed on the Culture Passes in the Library catalog.   
Passes are put out by 9 am at the end of the checkout period.
The laminated cards in the Library are not redeemable for admission and remain in the library.
Act One partners with over 150 libraries statewide to allow library cardholders the opportunity to check out free passes.
