Free Culture

It's a staycation year... time to revisit my hometown. After a decade-long hiatus, I stepped into a Phoenix Public Library last week. I paid $10 in old fines and a $2 lost card fee. In exchange, I walked away with a culture pass to the Heard Museum-North.

The library's Culture Pass Program grants FREE admission to local cultural attractions. Culture passes are circulated like books. There is a finite number of passes per attraction, and when you check out a pass it is taken out of circulation until the pass expires (it is valid for 8 days). You can check out only one pass at a time. Each pass is good for up to FOUR admissions.

It might get a bit tedious hunting for the pass you want, but the library makes it easy with online inventory tracking. Visit the Phoenix Public Library's website for availability: Phoenix Public Library - Search for "Culture Pass"
