Each library location has a Culture Pass display (pictured below). Take the pass you want to the library service desk to check it out. You will receive a receipt that will grant you free admission for two people at the participating location.
Culture Passes for museums and similar venues do not include admission to special exhibitions or events, only general admission.
Performing Arts Culture Passes are limited-time, single-use vouchers for specific performances. Each library location will post a notice on the Culture Pass display when they are available, usually between a week to ten days before a performance. When you check one out, you will receive a voucher with a special code and directions for how to redeem it for admission to the performance.
Performing Arts Culture Passes are not currently available.
