Where:

When: On going

About: Looking to take the family on a day trip to a museum on Long Island or in Manhattan? Well, a new program offered by the West Islip Public Library provides local residents free access to select museums.

Current library cardholders have access free of charge to the Museum Pass Program, which has been provided by the Friends of the West Islip Public Library. The program offers local families passes to several museums including the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City; the Long Island Children’s Museum; the Long Island Museum; Old Westbury Gardens and Vanderbilt Museum, Mansion and Planetarium.

All passes may be borrowed for a period of three days and passes cannot be renewed or extended for any reason. There is a $20 fee for each day that the pass is late. If the pass is lost, the borrower is responsible for all replacement costs.

All free admission passes are for the use of West Islip residents only and may not be sold.

More information on the Museum Pass Program can be obtained by calling the West Islip Public Library at 661-7080 or visiting the library’s website.
