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.

We have decided to return to our original method of reservation as we believe it best supports access to our museum passes.

If you have any questions, please call us at 610-869-2004.
