EFFECTIVE DATE:          January 24, 2014

APPLICATION:              Reference Staff and Patrons

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:      We are pleased to offer our community participation in a program entitling them to free entrance to museums and parks.

POLICY:

The following guidelines apply:

• Museum/park passes are available to Massapequa School District residents only.  The borrower must be at least 18 years old and hold a Massapequa Library Card and be in good standing.
• A household may borrow only one pass at a time and each individual museum/park pass may be borrowed no more than once every 30 days. Passes may be reserved up to 30 days in advance.
• Physical passes must be returned to the Reference Department. The pass may not be placed in the book drop. If it is returned in the book drop a $10.00 fine will be added to the borrower’s record.
• Late charge of $10.00 per day. In the event that a pass is not returned and the library must pay the entrance fee for the next user, that entrance fee will be added to the original borrowers late fees.
• Any borrower who loses a physical pass is responsible for the full replacement cost of that pass. (See Reference for cost of replacement.)
• It is the borrower’s responsibility to call the museums/parks directly for information, hours of operation, parking and/or directions.
• Passes may be reserved up to one month in advance by an adult (18+ years) family member. Only 1(one) pass may be reserved at one time. Please be courteous and contact the Reference Department if you cannot use the time slot you reserved.
• Each museum reserves the right to determine the rules and regulations governing the use of the pass.
• The Massapequa Library reserves the right to limit the use of the passes for individual families in the event of abuse of the passes.
