EPL Library Card = FREE Fun at Area Museums

Evanston Public Library card holders can receive free admission to 17 exciting museums and cultural institutions throughout the Chicago area. Brookfield Zoo, the Chicago Botanic Garden, the Oriental Institute, Bronzeville Children’s Museum, Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies and Evanston’s own Mitchell Museum of the American Indian are among those included. This special opportunity is made possible by a generous contribution from Macy’s, in partnership with the Metropolitan Library System.

You will need to visit the library to pick up a one week pass for the museum of your choice. Each museum is contributing four weekly passes, for two or four free admissions, depending on location. They are available on a first come, first served basis.

So many adventures await – some you might never have expected! All you need to take part in these learning adventures is a valid Evanston library card. For a full listing of participating institutions and for check-out guidelines, go to www.museumadventure.org, or ask the next time you visit the library.
