The Friends of the Baker Free Library is pleased to offer museum passes to eight institutions in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

 

There is no fee to borrow the passes, but the borrower must have a current Baker Free Library card in good standing and be at least 18 years of age. One pass is allowed per family per day.  We are allowed to distribute only one pass per institution per day except for the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center, which allows us to distribute two passes per day.  Details about each institution's passes are listed below.  To request a pass, call 224-7113 or e-mail your request.

 

Passes for the NH History Museum need to be returned by the library's opening time the following day. Please use the book drop to return passes when the library is closed.

 

Pass allows reduced admission of $10 each for up to four people. One pass per day is available September 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. Passes are NOT available in July & August due to New England Aquarium policies. Passes may not be used in conjunction with school group visits scheduled with the Group Sales Office, and may not be applied toward Aquarium boat programs or IMAX shows. For more information, call 617-973-5200 or visit www.neaq.com.

 

Season runs May through December. Pass allows admission for co-pay of $6 for adults, $3 for children under 18.  Limit two people per pass. Pass may not be redeemed for special events. For more information please call 783-9511 or visit www.shakers.org.

 

Pass allows free admission to the exhibit halls for four people (a maximum $36 value).  Planetarium show admission for those four people can be purchased for an additional cost. The Planetarium requires reservations because seating is limited. You will be asked to place additional charges on a credit card at the time of reservation. These charges are not refundable. The Planetarium requests that you arrive one half-hour before the show to pick up reserved tickets.

 

The pass is not valid for any special events, programs, or workshops, and may not be combined with any other discount. The Center's new hours for Labor Day through June 15th are Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday nights from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.  The Center will be open seven days per week during school vacation weeks (please visit the Center's web site for specific dates).  The Center will be open seven days per week during the summer from June 16 through the day before Labor Day. Closed major holidays (but open on Veteran's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, President's Day, and Columbus Day).

One pass per library card holder per day.  We will not allow one cardholder to take two passes for the Center for the same day.
