ATTRACTION PASSES FAQ
We’ve had a lot of calls and messages about our passes to the Creative Discovery Museum, the Chattanooga Zoo, and the Hunter Museum of American Art.
Here are some answers to the most common questions:
BASICS
- You can only borrow 1 pass at a time.
- You get the pass for 7 days (1 week).
- There is a $10 late fee for each day that the pass is late.
- You cannot renew/recheckout the pass.
- You can only borrow an attraction pass once per year. (Limit per HOUSEHOLD)
- Please only borrow the pass if you are certain you will get to use it in your allotted 7 days.
- We will not hold or reserve the passes for anyone – no exceptions.
- You must have a library card and be in GOOD STANDING to borrow a pass.*
*Good Standing means that you do not have overdue items or outstanding fees for lost or damaged materials.
NEW PATRONS
- You will need an ID with your current address or piece of mail with your address to apply for a card. Cards are free.
- After you get your card, you must wait 2 weeks before you can borrow a pass. During that time, you must check out at least 1 item and return it.
- Again, we do not place holds or reserves the passes for anyone.
- Once your 2 weeks is over, you will have the same opportunity all of our patrons have to borrow one of the passes when it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
You can call, message, or come by the library if you need more information.
Please note that we will not make exceptions to the holds or new patron wait-time policies.
