Museum - Public Library Partnerships
We are looking to start a partnership with our public library where library card holders can “check out” a family pass to use at the museum.
Is anyone interested in sharing exactly how you are doing this? Are they actually checking something physical out and presenting it to the museum? Does the library give the patron a pass? Does it expire?
We have some rudimentary ideas but we’re curious what everyone else is doing!
Thanks in advance,
Samantha
