Museum passes update: $2 museum admissions for EBT card holders!

As the weather gets colder, you may be looking for things to do indoors. Remember, the library has free and discounted admissions to 15 different attractions, including the Museum of Science, New England Aquarium, Danforth Museum, Higgins Armory Museum and Worcester Art Museum. You can reserve passes online or by calling or visiting the library. Going somewhere and we don't have a pass? Check with one of the other 42 libraries in the Minuteman Library Network. Your card allows you to reserve and borrow passes at most member libraries.

And, attention EBT cardholders! Five Worcester-area museums have joined together to offer a three-month discount for all Massachusetts residents with Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards. From October 1 through December 31, EBT card holders can present their card for a discounted $2 per person cash admission at the EcoTarium, Museum of Russian Icons, Tower Hill Botanical Garden, Worcester Art Museum, and Worcester Historical Museum.
