We have many passes to local zoos, museums and other attractions that can be borrowed for up to three days. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during weekends and vacation periods, and can be made in person at the library or by calling 610-583-0593 ext. 340. RT passes may NOT be placed on hold online. We advise you to visit the venue’s website before reserving to verify hours of operation or any other special information.
There is no charge to borrow a museum pass, thanks to generous sponsorships by local businesses. Passes must be returned to the Ridley Township Public Library. Reservations will be held for ONE DAY ONLY. Failure to pick up the pass on time will result in a canceled reservation. Passes returned past the due date will incur a late charge of $3 per day.
