A Discovery Pass gives library cardholders opportunities to explore their community and visit a local attraction. Beginning Monday, May 1, community members are able to check out Discovery Passes online and use them without needing to visit a library location. A Discovery Pass can be checked out up to seven days in advance. Each pass is valid for two days, the dates listed on the pass. Only one active reservation is allowed at a time. A valid photo ID matching the name of the patron that reserved the Discovery Pass must be presented for entry.
How to get a Discovery Pass:
- Check if a Discovery Pass is available on the Library’s website, app, or at any library location.
- If a pass is available, library cardholders can get a pass with a timed receipt. This can either be printed out or presented digitally on a phone at a partner location.
- The Discovery Pass may be used during a two consecutive day period, based on the date on their receipt. When the pass expires, it cannot be used further. The date of use is listed on the receipt.
- Library cardholders will now have to present ID with the pass when visiting, and IDs must match the name on the pass.
The number of passes available will be limited to the Library’s membership agreement. If you would like to support the library as it offers these passes and other resources to the community for free visit sjcpl.org/donate.
