Chappaqua Library lends free passes to visit major museums

Would you like to explore a new museum? Or expose your children to something different? The Chappaqua Library has membership cards to four museums: the Guggenheim, the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Botanical Garden and the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum.
These membership cards can be borrowed by Chappaqua Library patrons in good standing over the age of 18 for a period of four days (three nights), and can be reserved up to one month in advance. Cards admit adult family members and children, and allow discounts for special ticketed exhibitions or programs, such as the IMAX screenings at the Museum of Natural History.
Museum membership cards can be reserved by a librarian at the reference desk. This is also where the cards must be picked up and returned; they cannot be put in the book drop or returned to another Westchester library.
The Neuberger Museum of Art at SUNY Purchase will be added to our list soon, as well as the Frick Collection, the Cooper-Hewitt Museum and the Children’s Museum of Manhattan this summer. We will also have a membership to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum when it re-opens in November of 2008.
Martha Alcott is a reference librarian at the Chappaqua Library.
