Your Home Public Library

In addition to the Empire Pass that grants you free admission to most NY state parks, YHPL is now circulating passes for The Phelps Mansion and The Bundy Museum, and will soon have passes for The Roberson Museum and Science Center. Come on in and check them out.

We are excited to announce our partnership with three local museums on our newly created museum pass program that provides free admission for library patrons and their families. YHPL cardholders can now visit The Bundy Museum of History & Art, Phelps Mansion Museum, and Roberson Museum and Science Center using passes borrowed from the library.

Museum passes may be borrowed for seven days and there are no renewals. Stop in and check one out today!
