Derby Public Library has a versatile collection of museum passes that, depending on the museum, provide visitors with either discounted or free admission for up to a specified number/age of visitors.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that you check the individual museum’s website calendar or call ahead to the museum prior to reserving passes or visiting to be certain that the museum or the area of the museum you plan to visit will be open. Some museums may require online reservations using their websites.
Museum Pass Guidelines:
- Available to anyone with a valid CT library card in good standing
- Limit of one (1) pass per day per family.

A pass may be held for pick-up up until the Library closing time on the day of request. If the pass is not checked out during this time period, it will be put back into circulation.
- 2-day checkout period using any CT library card
- Passes are to be returned to Library’s Circulation Desk, NOT in any of our book drops or at another library.
