Museum Pass Rules and Guidelines

The Hauppauge Public Library now circulates museum passes for
The American Museum of Natural History in New York City,
The Long Island Children�s Museum in Garden City,
The Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum in Cold Spring Harbor, and
Old Westbury Gardens in Old Westbury

Each pass may be borrowed for 3 days, which includes the day you pick it up. Patrons are expected to pick up the pass on the first day it is reserved and return it on or before the due date. A late fee of $20 will be charged for every day the pass is late. The full price of the pass will be charged if it is lost. Once a pass is reported lost it loses all value.

If a pass is lost, or comes back late from a previous patron, the library may not be able to honor your reservation.

Passes may be reserved beginning on the first of the month for any time that month or the following month. Patrons may only have one reservation at a time and may only check out one pass at a time.

To reserve a pass, patrons must have a valid, unexpired, unblocked, library card with fines not exceeding $5.00. Reservations can be made in person or over the phone at the Children�s Services Desk. Please have your card handy when placing your reservation.

A waitlist will be taken for dates that have already been reserved. Patrons on the waitlist will receive a phone call if there is a cancellation.

Please notify the library as soon as possible if you must cancel your reservation so another patron may use the pass. Museum passes are for Hauppauge card-holders only.

If you are interested in reserving passes for any of these museums or for more information, please contact Children�s Services either in person or call (631) 979-1600.
