Museums & More

Starting on June 1, many of our library passes are once again available for reservation! Passes may be reserved for specific dates by checking availability below, or by calling the Reference Desk at 603-766-1720. As each institution changes their individual Covid phases and protocols, the details for each pass may change. We will do our best to keep up with the changes on this end, but it is worth double-checking with the museums by visiting their pages below.

Please note that you may pick up your passes at the Reference desk during any of our open hours at any time – no need to wait until the day before as previously required! Important: for most locations, you will need the library pass in hand to make your own required timed reservations online, or by phone.
