New Policy for Reserved Museum Passes
|
Since implementation of our new online museum pass reservation system, there's been a significant increase in bookings! (Yay!) Unfortunately, this has also led to an increase in failures to pick up reserved passes. (Boo!) This is bothersome because we could have loaned those passes to another member of our Library community. Therefore, beginning May 1 any person who fails to pick up a museum pass on 2 different occasions, without notifying the Library to cancel, will be blocked from borrowing any museum passes for 2 months.
