The very successful Museum Adventure Pass program will continue through October of 2010. Due to the popularity of many of the museums the Rochester Hills Public Library will be limiting passes to two per family and one per card holder. Card holders MUST be present to check out a pass. Passes are limited to residents of Rochester, Rochester Hills and Oakland Township.
Passes are good for the week following initial check out, admitting two or four people to the designated museum. Special exhibits presented by any museum are not included in the free admission. Museums may designate some of their busier days as non-pass days, or even be closed for some reason. Please check the website or pick up a Museum Pass booklet from the lobby kiosk.
To check on museum pass availability before coming to the Library, you can check online in our library catalog. We suggest a keyword search including the name of the museum you are interested in visiting along with the words "museum adventure pass." Once you find the designated museum, click on the link for "Where is it?" and you will be able to see the availability of the passes. Passes are checked in at 9:00 a.m. on the due date.

Michigan's Department of Natural Resources has partnered with the Library of Michigan, Macy's and the Hammock Company to announce the "Park & Read" program. Rochester Hills Public Library is a participating library in the program running through September 25, 2009.
Park & Read allows library card-holding residents of Rochester, Rochester Hills or Oakland Township to check out a one-day pass into any Michigan state park or recreation area in lieu of the resident daily motor vehicle permit. This is a $6 savings and free access to more than 500 park events taking place all summer.
Plus, many parks will have a hammock available for Park & Read participants to borrow while on-site for the day so they can really enjoy their books!
Passes are valid for seven days from check-out and can be used for one day; these are limited to one per family, per week. To check on Park pass availability before coming to the Library, you can check online in our library catalog. We suggest a keyword search using the words "park and read." Click on the link for "Where is it?" and you will be able to see the availability of the passes. Passes are checked in at 9:00 a.m. on the due date and are not available to be held in advance.
More information may be found on the Michigan Department of Natural Resources web site, including a list of parks that you can visit and a list of participating libraries.
