It’s not too late, grab them while you can and before the
summer passes you by! Museum passes
abound at the library, and within the Southern New Hampshire Cooperative there are
additional offerings from Sandown and Plaistow that are up for borrowing with
some caveats.
Check out the Currier Museum of Art, Isabella Stewart Gardner
Museum, John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, Museum of Fine Arts,
Museum of Science, New England Aquarium (not offered in July & August), NH
State Park Pass, Peabody Essex Museum, Seacoast Science Center, Strawbery
Banke, USS Constitution Museum, and Zoo New England.
When checking out the Seacoast Science Center and NH State
Park pass, don’t forget to get a corresponding backpack. The Seacoast backpack contains a compass with
instructions, waterproof binoculars, and interesting reading materials such as:
The ultimate guide to shells and beach life of the New England Coast, Birds of
the Mid-Atlantic coast, North Atlantic whale watch, Freshwater fishes of
Northeast, New Hampshire State Parks Map Guide, Bicycling NH’s Seacoast and to
explore your own backyard an Atkinson Trail Map. Books, a back pack to fit your
hiking supplies, and state park passes giving you access to NH’s best and most
beautiful: what more could the outdoor adventurer want?
Also offered with the other libraries in the Co-op are the
Butterfly Place, Children’s Museum of New Hampshire as well as duplicates of
some of the Kimball passes for increased availability. All three libraries will loan out museum
passes to card holders that reside outside their town. If you want to borrow a pass that is not from
your home library, you can check on their website for availability. Passes can be picked up in person one hour
before closing the day before use. Closing
hours vary for each library. Contact us
with any questions you might have.
