Museum Passes
Slater Library is proud to offer Griswold and Lisbon families discounted or free passes to local attractions.
Passes can be reserved by calling Slater Library @ (860) 376-0024 and must be checked out on an adult's card. One pass per family at a time may be checked out and passes cannot be renewed. Passes are checked out for three (3) days so that you can pick up the pass the day prior to visiting the museum and return it the day after. Please remember to return the pass to staff members inside Slater Library when the Library is open.
Please remember, you may need a physical pass to enter the museum or park; a library card cannot be substituted.
