Museum Passes Now Available
In order to provide equal access for all HHFL patrons, the following rules for borrowing museum passes have been established by the Library Board of Trustees:
- Museum Pass kits are available to adult (age 18 or above) Hendrick Hudson Free Library patrons in good standing. Pass kits will not be issued to any patron who owes fines for overdue or lost material or juvenile patrons.
- Hendrick Hudson Free Library card holders and Contract One patrons may reserve a Pass Kit up to one month in advance by contacting the Reference Desk in person or by telephone at 914-739-5654.
- Families and individuals may borrow only one pass kit at a time.
- The loan period is generally 3 days, including 2 overnights. Pass Kits must be returned to the Hendrick Hudson Free Library before closing on the 3rd day. The Empire pass and Mohonk Preserve have a longer borrowing period of 8 days including 7 overnights.
- Pass Kits returned to any other library will result in a $30 fee due to delays for our receipt. Pass Kits must be returned inside the Library, at the Reference Desk (not in the book drop) or a $30 fine will be imposed.
- Pass kits may not be renewed.
- Late fees of $10 per day, up to the full cost of the Pass Kit, will be imposed for every day the Pass Kit (or any part thereof) is late. Replacement cost for lost Pass Kits is the full cost of the Pass Kit.
- It is the borrower’s responsibility to confirm hours of operation, etc., by checking the venue’s website or contacting them directly.
