Westfield Athenaeum Library
Museum Passes
Thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Westfield Athenaeum, Westfield residents can reserve a museum pass online using TixKeeper, our new online museum pass reservation system. Follow the instructions on the screen. If you are not a Westfield resident, you can request a pass at the reference desk in person on the day you wish to use a pass. You may not reserve museum passes through the online catalog.
Museum passes are located at the Information Services Desk and can be reserved by Westfield residents by calling us at 413-562-0716.
