The Edison Public Library now offers museum passes to adult patrons with a valid library card and photo ID. These passes allow either a free admission or a special discount access to museums across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

Passes are available for pickup in-person only at the circulation desk at the specified Library branch.

To reserve a museum pass, call the respective library Branch or use the web portal below.

Please Note: Considering that our Main Library will be temporarily closed, you will be able to find those Museum Passes at our Clara Barton Branch.

Museum Pass Policy

As a service to the residents of Edison, the Edison Public Library’s Museum Pass
Program loans area museum passes in order to encourage learning and promote
cultural and educational activities. Loans of passes shall be consistent with the
following rules and regulations:

• Adult Edison Public Library cardholders in good standing may reserve
  museum passes. Fines and fees must be paid in FULL for an account to
  be in good standing.
• Reservations can be made in person at any Edison Public library Branch,
  by calling the branch library, or online through the Library’s website*.
  There are two types of museum passes:
  • Standard Museum Pass: a one-day pass that is reserved for a three-day period (includes pickup and return dates)
  • Museum Ticket: a one-day ticket. Due to the limited number, tickets are
    available by lottery only.
• There is no charge to reserve a museum pass. However, only one (1)
  museum pass per library account may be checked out at a time.
• Museum Passes are loaned for a period of three (3) days. The pass can
  be picked up by 3 PM on the day prior to the Day of Use and MUST be
  returned by 10 AM following the Day of Use. Museum Pass Tickets do not
  need to be returned. Library issued passes must be returned.
• If a pass is not returned on time, a fine of fifteen dollars ($15.00) per day
  will be charged, up to a maximum of the replacement cost of the pass.
• Reservations can be canceled. Please notify the Library that you want to
  cancel no later than the day before Day of Use since others may want to
  use the museum pass for that day.
• If a pass is not picked up by 10 AM on the Day of Use, it will constitute a
  No Show. Two No Shows in a 60-day period will result in a 3-month block
  on your museum pass reservations.
• If a pass is not picked-up, a $10.00 charge will be added to the patron’s
  account.
• If a pass is lost, the borrower will be charged the replacement cost which
  may be up to fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500.00) plus a five-dollar ($5.00)
  processing fee.
• Different passes are available at each of the Edison Public Library
  locations. You must present your library card and a photo ID to pick-up the
  pass. Passes will be rotated to different locations every six months. A
  complete list of Museum Passes and locations is available on the Library’s
  website or by calling your local branch library.
• The pass must be returned to the Circulation Desk at the Branch it was
  borrowed from. If the library is closed, the pass must be returned by the
  library’s opening on the next day we are open. Loan times cannot be
  extended.
• The borrower is responsible for any fees or charges not included with the
  pass (such as parking, surcharges for special exhibit admission, etc.). It is
  the borrower’s responsibility to check the museum’s website for
  information about current exhibits and special programs. Often, the
  museum pass will permit general entry but not always for special exhibits
  and/or programs.
• It is the borrower’s responsibility to check with each museum for its own
  rules, guidelines and schedules; as possible restrictions or policies may
  apply or change without notice.
