Sports Museum and Zoo Passes Available at Library


August is here and although it may seem like life is speeding by, there is still time to enjoy those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.  One great way to do that is to take advantage of the many attractions that are available in the greater Boston area.  The Museum Pass Program at the Lynnfield Public Library provides you the opportunity to do just that. 

The Library is delighted to announce its membership in two new participating organizations.  Passes are now available for Zoo New England at both the Stone Zoo in Stoneham and the Franklin Park Zoo in Dorchester.  Sports fans will want to make sure to plan a visit to The Sports Museum of New England in Boston. Through the program, residents can checkout passes to the attraction of their choice, just as they would a book or DVD.  Both Zoo New England and The Sports Museum passes allow free admission for up to six individuals. 

These attractions add to the passes already available for the Boston Children’s Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Science, the Harvard Art Museums, the House of Seven Gables, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the Peabody Essex Museum.  You can reserve a pass in person or by phone at (781)334-5411.  Passes are reserved on a first come, first served basis.

The passes have been purchased by the Friends of the Lynnfield Library. The Friends of the Lynnfield Library comprise nearly 300 Lynnfield residents.  Members of the organization last year volunteered hundreds of hours and raised thousands of dollars to support activities and services provided by the Library.  Information about joining and activities of the Friends of the Lynnfield Library is available on the organization’s Web site:  www.foll.org.
