Cultural Passes

The Newmarket Library has passes to 9 locations. All passes are generously funded by The Friends of the Library.
The New England Aquarium pass has been discontinued- unfortunately the Aquarium has blocked any summer visit dates, so due to the cost we are discontinuing it. 
How do I reserve a pass?
Please pick a date of your museum visit and call, email, or visit the library to reserve a pass. If the date is open, we will issue the pass to you. Museum passes are only available for reservation to Newmarket Library card holders. For most passes, only one pass per day is permitted to be issued. 
I have suggestions for a pass, who do I tell?
Please let our staff know! We will pass the information along to the Friends of the Newmarket Public Library.
