Museum Pass Update
As from February 2026, Avon Grove Library will be discontinuing online reservations for our museum passes.
Starting February 9,
patrons who wish to use our Longwood Gardens or Brandywine Conservancy and Museum of Art passes must either call the library (highly recommended) or visit in person to check availability. Online reservations will remain available through February 2.
