Cultural passes available for check out

Submitted by tim.spindle on Wed, 07/06/2016 - 14:13
Type of Pilot Project: 
Public Service
Describe Project and Impact: 
Make available general admission passes to local cultural institutions that can be checked out using a library card in good standing.
Project Description and Expected Outcomes: 
By making general admission passes to local cultural institutions available to check out, we would not only establish new community partnerships and build on existing ones, but we would also enable library members to visit cultural institutions that they may not otherwise have been able to visit. It's the same principle behind providing access to books, movies, journals, etc. that members might otherwise not be able to afford.
Why should we select this project?: 
Just as we put members in touch with worlds beyond their own by way of books, movies, and music, so, too, can we put them in touch with works by Matisse, the skeleton of the world's largest Apatosaurus, and a plasma globe.
Constraints, Limitations, or Dependencies: 
Cost, lack of willing partner, infrastructure.
