MUSEUMS

A valid Library card is required to make a pass reservation. As you view each pass, you will see details on that pass, including the cost of admission, the museum’s hours and phone number. Clicking on the name of the museum brings you to the museum’s website for even more information.  Always check the museum website as their timings and events could change.

Museum passes offer discounted admission and are made available for loan to adults through the Friends of the Grafton Public Library, the Library Board of Trustees, individual donors, and the Town of Grafton. Grafton residents, property owners, and employees may borrow Library museum passes and make online reservations in advance.  If Grafton residents are unable to reserve a pass, with the Grafton Public Library they can reserve passes through Blackstone Valley Libraries.

Residents of other MA towns may borrow available library passes day of visit only; advance reservations are not extended to non-residents.

We do extend online reservation of passes to patrons who reside in the following zipcodes
Douglas – 01516
Hopedale – 01747
Whitinsville – 01588
Northbridge – 01534
Uxbridge – 01569
Upton – 01568
Millbury – 01527

If your plans change and you are unable to keep your reservation, please call the Library at 508-839-4649 x1820 to cancel, so we can make the pass available to someone else.

The staff of the Grafton Library and the Friends of the Grafton Libraries hope you enjoy your visits to these museums. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please speak to a Library staff member.
