Who may take out a Museum Pass?
Museum Passes may be reserved up to 30 days in advance
by residents in the Oceanside School District who are 18
years or older, whose Oceanside Library card is in good
standing, with no outstanding fines, and is not expired.
Each Museum Pass may only be borrowed by a family once
in 30 days and only 1 pass per household at a time.
What
type of passes does the Library offer?
Print on Demand: Passes
can be printed from home or at the library. Request your
pass for the day you plan to visit the museum. Print the
pass instantly at the time of reservation. The pass is
only valid for the date of visit listed on the
confirmation page and must be presented to the museum in
printed format. If you are unable to print your pass at
the time of reservation, come to the library during our
business hours and we’ll print it for you. There is no
need to return a POD pass to the library.
Pick Up / Return at Library:
Passes are picked up at the Welcome
Desk on the 1st floor of the library and must be picked
up by the cardholder who made the reservation. These
passes have a 3 Day loan period and MUST be returned to
the library during Borrowing & Browsing Hours. Please
DO NOT put Museum Passes in the Book Drop at this time.
Please check the due date of the pass carefully.
Can I use the passes for special exhibits and member
only events?
Many museums do not accept library passes for special
exhibits/events. Contact the museum to verify if the
pass will be honored for special programs.
How do I cancel a reservation?
You may cancel a reservation from home using the "My
Passes" button. Enter your library barcode and click
"cancel" next to the pass. If you wish to cancel a
reservation less than 24 hours before your reservation
date, please contact the Welcome Desk at 516-766-2360
