Friendly reminder that the Museum Pass program is a lesser-known treasure of the Chappaqua Library - and sponsored by the Friends! Check out passes for you and your family to visit museums in NYC and the Hudson Valley for FREE! The reservation system got an upgrade earlier this year and it has never been easier to take advantage of this fantastic resource. Enjoy 🤩
