Brockville Public Library has a number of passes that provide free general admission to museums, parks and galleries in our region. Think of the Brockville Public Library before your next outing!
How to Borrow Museum Passes
Find the pass you want on this page and click on “Check availability” to see if it is currently available to borrow. To provide equitable access, passes cannot be put on hold. You can check out up to two passes at a time for up to seven days.
Before you go, review the visiting hours, information and requirements for the place you wish to visit. The visitor experience at certain sites may be different than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. Passes are valid for general admission only. Special exhibitions or events may require additional admission fees.
Because we receive a limited number of passes from partner organizations, we cannot adjust quantities based on demand, like we do for other catalogue items.
