Looking for something to do around the holidays? Perhaps you have company coming by and want to plan some activities. Did you know that your library card can provide services that extend beyond the building, beyond the town? Consider checking out our Museum Pass Program for some ideas.
Through the generosity of the Friends of the Lynnfield Library, we are able to offer a number of passes that waive or reduce admission to local museums and attractions. Each pass is unique in its admission savings, so check out the museum information on our website or pick up a museum pass brochure during your next visit to the Library.
Making a trip into Boston? Consider exploring the art of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum or Museum of Fine Arts. Kids may be excited to check out the Boston Children’s Museum, Museum of Science, New England Aquarium or the USS Constitution Museum.
Perhaps you want to adventure to Salem and the Peabody Essex Museum to explore Asian, Native American, and Oceanic art, learn about maritime history and more. Head on down Derby street and check out one of America’s most beloved historic homes, The House of Seven Gables.
Have an interest in animals? Check out our Zoo New England pass and visiting the flamingos, foxes, jaguars, otters, sloths and many others at the Stone Zoo (Stoneham) or Franklin Park Zoo (Boston). Our ParksPass offers free parking at over 50 Massachusetts state parks and forests. Get outdoors and try some hiking, biking, rock climbing, swimming, fishing, and more! Check out the Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation for a list of the parks.
Any patron with a valid NOBLE library card may reserve a museum pass through the Lynnfield Library. Reservations can be made in person, by phone (781.334.5411), or online 24/7 from the Library website using your library card. Passes are available on a first-come basis and are available up to 60 days in advance, so plan ahead, especially for weekends and around holidays and school vacations.
Most of our passes are completely digital. They require no pick up at the Library and can be printed from home or accessed through email, so there’s no need for an additional trip in the cold or inclement weather. A few, such as the Zoo New England and Harvard Museum of Natural History are disposable coupon passes that can be picked up at the Library. The Parks Pass is the one pass that needs to be returned following use.
We hope you will take advantage of our Museum Pass Program this month and into the new year. Be sure to check out our museum pass page for more information or call us with any questions.
