Borrow a Museum Pass!
The Friends of the Cranford Public Library are pleased to provide passes to outstanding museums* in New York and New Jersey. Passes may be borrowed by adult Cranford Library card holders and adult members of the Friends of the Cranford Library with MURAL consortium borrowing privileges. Borrowers must be in good standing with the Cranford Public Library and, in the case of MURAL patrons, with their home library (i.e., no long overdue materials or outstanding fees or fines). A pass may be borrowed for two days. It may not be renewed or reserved. Passes are available on a first come, first served basis. Passes may be borrowed for only one institution at a time and must be picked up at and returned to the library’s main desk. The overdue fine for a pass is $2.00 per day. The replacement fee for a lost pass is $25.00. The replacement fee for a lost case is $1.00.
Contact the Library for exact pass information.

About the Friends of the Cranford Public Library
The Museum Pass Program is one of many ways in which the Friends of the Cranford Public Library support the library. Founded in 1979, the Friends fund virtually all the library’s adult programs. They sponsor the highly successful children’s, young adult, and adult summer reading programs. They purchase equipment and furniture for public use, make a significant annual donation to the library book budget, and fund a library studies scholarship. Funds contributed by the Friends helped start the library’s Great Courses DVD collection, the Modern Scholar CD collection, the Drama Collection on CD, and the book club kit collection. Annual membership in the Friends is only $10.00 ($5.00 for students and senior citizens.) Please consider joining the Friends and help them to support and enhance library services. Applications are available at cranfordlibrary.org/friends.php and the library’s main desk.
