Note that we STRONGLY suggest patrons communicate with Library staff and museums to confirm open hours and procedures before visiting a museum. Pay careful attention to instructions on the museum’s page as many have moved to timed ticketing.
Due to limited Library hours, there may be times when reservations cannot be honored. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
We encourage all members of our community to stay safe and healthy by practicing social distancing during this public health emergency.
The Museum Pass Program is generously supported by the
Friends of the Cherry Hill Public Library in partnership with the Cherry Hill community.
Museum Pass FAQ
Some passes are Print on Demand and will have an icon like this 
next to their name. This means you can print out the pass from home and then take it to visit the museum.
Physical or In-Person passes will NOT have a print icon and must be picked up at the library. Physical passes are available after 3pm the day BEFORE use, as well as the day of use, and must be returned by 11am the day after use.
Passes can be reserved online using the link above with your library card
or by calling the Reference Desk at (856) 667-0300 option 2.
There is no charge to reserve or borrow a museum pass.
Anyone with a valid Cherry Hill Public Library card can make a reservation.
Each museum can be reserved one time per month. Up to 5 different museums can be reserved in a calendar month, but only 3 for a specific date.
As a CHPL cardholder, you can have up to five reservations at any time and may make one reservation per month for each museum, but you can reserve up to five passes a month. You can still borrow a pass without a reservation if it’s available.
Reservations can often be made up to 45 days in advance.
The membership conditions of each museum vary and are indicated in the description for each pass.
For Print on Demand passes
These can be printed from anywhere and anytime and must be taken to the museum on the Day of Use – you do not need to pick up or return these passes. Your name and the date of your reservation will appear on the pass.
For Physical/ In-Person passes
These may be picked up at the library beginning at 3 p.m. the day prior to the “Day of Use” and must be returned by 11 a.m. the day after the “Day of Use”. For example, if you picked a Tuesday to go to a museum, the “Day of Use” is Tuesday, so the pass can be picked up beginning at 3 p.m. on Monday through closing on Tuesday and must be returned by 11 a.m. on Wednesday. If the library is closed, the pass may be placed in the media slot of the book drop outside the front entrance. If the library is open, please bring the pass to the Reference Desk.

The late fee for all passes is $15 a day, with a maximum fine per pass of $75. If a pass is not returned within 5 days of its due date, it will be considered lost and the borrower will be charged for the full replacement cost. Replacement costs vary according to the cost of the individual pass. Because demand for passes is extremely high, two overdue passes in a 60 day period may result in a two month block on museum pass reservations.

Most of the museums we offer passes for are accessible and some vary in what types of accommodations they provide. You can visit each museum’s website for more information.
