Museum & Park Passes
The library has a number of passes that can be checked out by patrons. Please keep in mind:
- Colchester - Passes are only available to town residents.
- Time - Passes are checked out for up to seven days, to assure patrons a chance to use them during a weekend (though we'd appreciate an early return if you are no longer using it). There are no renewals, and fines are $20 the first day and $5 each additional day.
- Holds - Because of the great interest involved, there are often significant wait lists for the passes. Unfortunately, there is no way to reserve a pass for a specific date. Once you are called for a pass on hold, you have up to three days to pick it up.
