CHECK IT OUT: LIBRARY NEWS!

Looking for something new to do with family or friends that is fun and affordable? Consider borrowing a museum pass from the library to enjoy a visit to a local museum – on us!

MAPL offers passes to nine area museums:

Battleship New Jersey (Camden, NJ)

Brooklyn Botanic Garden (Brooklyn, NY)

Eastern State Penitentiary (Philadelphia, PA)

The Frick Collection (New York, NY)

Guggenheim Museum (New York, NY)

Intrepid Museum (New York, NY)

Monmouth Museum (Lincroft, NJ)

Morven Museum & Garden (Princeton, NJ) Museum of the American Revolution (Philadelphia, PA)

Adult patrons with a valid MAPL library card can check out up to two passes at one time (to the same museum or to two different ones) for a three day loan – the pass is picked up on day one, used on day two, and returned on day three. (It is very important that the pass is returned on its due date so that the next person can check it out. Fines are still in effect for late museum passes.) Passes can be reserved in person, on the phone, or online. Each pass admits one or more people to the museum, and each museum has its own rules and procedures; please see our museum pass page for more information (https://www.matawanaberdeenlibrary.com/resources/museumpass/2023%20MuseumPassInfo.pdf) and check the individual museum’s website to confirm hours and exhibit availability.

We thank the Matawan Aberdeen Friends of the Library for generously funding the MAPL museum pass program. Need more information about any of the above? Give us a call at 732583-9100, stop by, visit our website at www.matawanaberdeenlibrary.com, or drop us an email at info@matawanaberdeenlibrary.com to get started. The library is open 7 days a week and our friendly staff is happy to assist you!

Have a wonderful May!

Kimberly Paone, Library Director Matawan Aberdeen Public Library
