How the Great Kids Museum Passports Work
Adult residents of the City of Chicago may check out a Museum Passport at all Chicago Public Library locations with their valid Chicago Public Library card.
One Museum Passport can be checked out per person, per loan period. The loan period for each Great Kids Museum Passport is ONE WEEK.
Each library location has a limited number of Museum Passports for each of the 14 museums.
The overdue fine for Museum Passports is $2 per day, with a maximum limit of $20. The charge for a LOST Museum Passport is $60, plus any overdue fines.
Only one Museum Passport per household may be checked out at one time.
Museum Passports must be returned to the main desk of the library location where they were checked out.
Museum Passports cannot be renewed or reserved.
There will be a waiting period of 24 hours after returning a Museum Passport before another passport from the same museum may be checked out to any adult member of the same family.
This is awesome.. a great program which has allowed me to take my child to many museums and zoos without the cost.. For sure wouldnt be able to afford this without the program!
