Borrow Museum and Arts Passes!

The Museum Arts Pass (MAP) will be available at all 99 Toronto Public Library Branches starting March 7, 2009. You can get the Museum Arts Pass for institutions such as the AGO, The Bata Shoe Museum, Black Creek Pioneer Village, Gardiner Museum, the Textile Museum of Canada and more. Each MAP is good for one museum in particular and each library will have a limited number of passes for each museum in any given week.

All Toronto library patrons with a valid adult library card will be entitled to borrow one pass per week and each pass will admit one family (generally one or two adults and up to four children). You can borrow passes to any of the participating venues, and you can borrow them more than once. The passes cannot be renewed or reserved and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
