UPDATE 10/25/2024: While the software for Ticketkeeper, where you register for museum passes, continues to be unavailable online, we have switched to new software for program registrations. All "register here" links below should be working, but please continue to have patience as we all learn the new software. Please contact the library (508-646-2829), if you need assistance with museum passes or the new registration process. Thank you for your understanding.
