Rotary sponsors museum passes as an excellent service to the community. It's one of the first things the libraries mention to new library users and is featured on the first page of our welcome brochure. They are so grateful for the Rotary's support!
Our museum pass program enables library patrons to visit eighteen local museums, parks, and attractions at a discounted rate. These passes are an especially popular offering over school vacations and summer break. In 2024, WPL patrons made 1,659 museum pass reservations, and nearly 700 of those were for the five institutions supported by the Rotary: The Peabody Essex Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Trustees GO Pass, The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and Zoo New England. Most of these passes are delivered via email, making it easier than ever to access these wonderful resources!
