Elmont Library Offers Free Museum Passes to Members

(Elmont, N.Y.) - The Elmont Memorial Library offers FREE passes to many popular museums and cultural centers, available to Elmont Memorial Library cardholders in good standing.
According to Maggie Gough, Elmont Memorial Library Director, “This is one of the many ‘perks’ afforded to our Library members. We encourage our patrons to take full advantage of our no-cost programs, both taking place at the Library and beyond our walls. It takes merely minutes to obtain an Elmont Memorial Library card and the rewards are plentiful. I can think of no other membership that offers such a wide array of benefits than with your Elmont Library card.”

Currently, the Elmont Memorial Library carries free passes to the following museums:

American Museum of Natural History, 79 Street & Central Park West, NYC
Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum 279 Main Street, Cold Spring Harbor

It is recommended that Library patrons reserve museum passes in advance, by visiting the Circulation Desk, or calling 516.354.5280, extension 200.
Each pass circulates for three days, and is due back to the library by closing time on the third day. Passes and reservations must be handled by an adult (18 years of age or older) with a library card in good standing. Each pass provides patrons with unlimited free admission to the specified museum.
