• Per our agreement with the museums, the New Rochelle Public Library requests that a family not use 2 of the family’s library cards to reserve 2 passes to the same museum.  Violating this rule may result in cancellation of the reservation and loss of future Museum Pass privileges.
• Patrons must cancel reservations that they cannot keep by contacting the library at 914-813-3718.
• Reservations should be cancelled 24 hours before the patron is scheduled to pick up the pass.
• A reservation that is not cancelled before the pick-up date will count as 1 of the 4 reservations allowed in a 30-day period.
• If a patron does not visit the museum after checking out the Museum Pass, the reservation will still count as 1 of the 4 reservations allowed in a 30-day period.
• The patron who picks up the pass must be the same patron whose name and number are on the reservation.
• When picking up the Museum Pass, the patron will sign a contract agreeing to all rules governing the Museum Pass Program.
• The New Rochelle Public Library reserves the right to refuse to issue a Museum Pass to a New Rochelle patron if the patron does not agree to the terms of the contract or has a history of not returning a pass on the due date or has not paid the late or lost fees that they have incurred.
