Library Museum Passes are Great Value

Last Saturday, we spent about four hours at the Franklin Park Zoo. It was a cold, but bright and sunny day when hardly anyone would think of taking the family to the zoo. With no crowds, we practically had the place to ourselves. All for $8.

The Westwood Library has museum passes for discounted or free admission to many area attractions. We've been members of the zoo before, but it became harder to manage during the week with one parent and three kids, so we didn't renew the membership. As many parents know, there are many, many possible museums and to join them all would cost a fortune. But the library's program ensures that, as long as you plan ahead, you can reserve a pass and take advantage of these great museums...and...if that particular day turns out to be a day when the kids get bored fast or you have to leave suddenly--no problem. You got your money's worth.
