This month, the Southborough Library has resumed issuing some of their passes for discount admissions to museums, zoos and other venues. Patrons are also being asked to let the Library know if they would make use of three others if they were offered.
Check out these passes
In normal times, the Library has a long list of passes available for use. That ended in March, when the Library closed its doors and museums, zoos, and many other venues did as well. As zoos and museums began reopening, the Library researched which passes they had access to that were still viable for patrons to use and safe to circulate.
They are currently able to offer passes for discounted/free admission to:

Danforth Museum
Peabody Essex

deCordava Sculpture Park and Museum
grounds of the Fruitlands Museum (the museum itself is currently closed)
parking/admission to many (but not all) of the properties owned by The Trustees of Reservations (This doesn’t cover special events)
Zoo New England

Would you check out these passes?
Meanwhile, three passes that are normally sponsored by The Friends of the Southborough Library would need to be renewed. Before investing in purchasing the passes for this year, the Friends’ board asked to get public feedback. The question we need to know is, if we paid to purchase the discount passes for the Library, would you use them this fall?*
Those museums are the Boston Children’s Museum, Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum, and the New England Aquarium. You can answer the survey via the Library’s tweet below:
