the museum graphic on the “By Museum” reservation screen.
What is the “Day of Use”?
“Date of Use” is the day you plan on visiting the museum. Passes may be picked up beginning at
1:00 pm the day prior to the “Date of Use” and must be returned by 11:00 am the day after the
“Date of Use.”
NOTE: The Grundy Library is closed on Sundays. If the “Date of Use” is Monday, passes must be
picked up between 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm on Saturday or beginning at 10:00 am on Monday.
How do I cancel my reservation?
Reservations can be canceled any time before the “Date of Use.” If the reservation is canceled on
the “Date of Use” it will be considered a “No Show.”
You can cancel online (using “My Account” – requires your Library Card number and PIN or Password) or by calling the Grundy Library at 215-788-7891.
NOTE: To cancel a printable pass reservation, you must speak with a Grundy Library staff member.
What is a “No Show”?
If you do not pick up your pass, or if you do not cancel your
reservation prior to the “Date of Use,” it will constitute a “No Show.” Because demand for passes
is extremely high:
- 1st “No Show” = new reservations are blocked
- 2nd “No Show” = existing reservations are canceled and new reservations are blocked for 30 days
- 3rd “No Show” = $20 fine is charged, existing reservations are canceled and new reservations are blocked for 60 days
Where do I pick up my pass?
Passes must be picked up at the Grundy Library no earlier than 1:00pm the day prior to the “Date of Use.”
NOTE: Some museums accept “Printable Passes” (indicated by the printer icon located next to
the museum graphic). Once reserved, “Printable Passes” can be printed at any time for the
reserved “Date of Use.”
Do I need my library card to pick up the pass?
Yes, in order to pick up a pass the cardholder whose library card account was used to reserve
the pass must be present and must have the physical library card used to reserve the pass with
them.
Where do I return my pass?
Passes must be returned to the Grundy Library no later than 11:00 am on the date due back.
What is the late fine or replacement fee?
- The late fine for all passes is $20 per day, with a maximum late fine of $100
- If a museum pass is lost or damaged, the borrower is responsible for the full replacement fee, which varies according to each museum
