Library Resources of the Month – Museum Passes
The Bellingham Public Library offers passes that provide discounted or free admission to a number of area museums and attractions! These passes are funded by the generosity of the Friends of the Bellingham Library and the following local businesses: Bellingham Business Association, Berkshire Hathaway Page Realty, Charles River Bank, Jennifer DeLuca – Realtor, NCK Bellingham, Mass Renewables, Middlesex Savings Bank, and Owen Financial Services.
Passes can be reserved in advance only by Bellingham residents and members of the Friends of the
Library with a valid library card. Some passes may be limited to Bellingham residents only. Reservations may be made online, in person or by phone by Bellingham residents, if overdue charges on the library card are under $10. Residents of other towns who are members of the Friends of the Library must call or visit in person to reserve passes. Non-residents who are not members of the Friends of the Bellingham Library may borrow passes on the day they wish to visit, provided the desired pass is available.
