Last Chance for Museum Adventures !

Summer may be halfway through, but there's still time to enjoy a museum adventure or two !

The Museum Adventure Pass Program at the libraries expires this August 31st.

You still have five weeks to sign up in the Youth Services department for a weekly discounted pass to visit one of seventeen wonderful local suburban museums and parks. All you need is your Des Plaines library card! Four passes are available for each museum each week on a first-come first-served basis. Passes are good for one full week from the issue date, and you can select your favorite destination again in the weeks that follow.

So why not take a mini-vacation on us (and Macy's) to share with your children the wonders of Brookfield Zoo's animals, Cantigny Park's tanks, Chicago Botanic Garden's Japanese islands, Morton Arboretum's children's playland, or Mitchell Museum's Native American artifacts to name a few. A complete description of the participating museums including their web addresses is available at the Youth Services desk to help you with your selection.

To those families who have made use of the Museum Adventure Pass Program over the past year, a special thank you for using your Des Plaines library card to expand your children's world and to enrich their lives in this unique way.
