Frequently Asked Questions
FOR PRINT-ON-DEMAND PASSES:
How long can I borrow a pass for?
Reserve the pass for the day you want to visit the museum. The POD passes have a one-day loan period and are valid only for the date of your reservation.
How many people does each admit?
Each museum sets its own limits which are listed on the reservation page under "Learn More." Borrowers should call the museum directly for information concerning parking, hours of operation and directions. Each museum reserves the right to determine all rules governing the use of their pass.
How will I receive the print-on-demand pass?
A link to print the pass will be included in the confirmation email. Call the library at 631-499-0888 to confirm we have your correct email address on file before reserving a pass.
I do not have access to a printer. Where can I print out the pass?
Print-on-Demand passes must be printed out. You can print out your pass at the library. The librarians at the Reference Desk can help you print out the pass.
Can I show the pass on my phone at the museum?
The library cannot guarantee electronic forms of the pass will be accepted. A copy of the pass on a phone may not be honored by the admissions staff. Please call the museum before your visit to ask if they will allow you to enter by showing the pass on your phone. We strongly recommend you print out the pass.
Do I need to bring my library or photo id to the museum?
Bring a valid photo ID and your Commack Public Library card with you to the museum. The name on the ID/library card must match the name on the reservation and printed pass.
How do I cancel my reservation?
Call the Library at 631-499-0888 and speak to a reference librarian.
As a courtesy, please cancel any reservation you will not be using as soon as possible so the pass can be made available to other patrons.
