Only one Adventure Pass can be checked out on a library card at any given time. See the information associated with each partner above for pass validity details.
Adventure Passes are available to customers ages 18+ years old who have library cards in good standing.
Passes cannot be put on hold. They are available on a first come, first serve basis.

Teacher and Institutional cards cannot be used to check out Adventure Passes, but they are available for new cards, temporary cards, and Lobby Stop cards.
Each Adventure Pass will include a receipt or voucher, with an expiration date, and an informational flyer. In most cases, the Pass will be a library checkout receipt with the borrower’s name and the date of the checkout.
