People may check out museum passes, on a first come first served basis, for one week at any Pierce County Library. The passes are another community offering from the Library System to help connect and strengthen communities.

Library customers have access to these passes for free admission as part of a cooperative partnership project among the museums, Pierce County Library, Puyallup Public Library and Tacoma Public Library.
