Books aren’t the only perk of The Boston Public Library. You can also get free and discounted admission to museums and experiences around the city every month. As long as you have a physical library card, you can reserve one of these passes per 30 days in person or online. Note that there are a limited number of passes available per date, so reserving in advance gives you a better chance of scoring the hot ticket passes.
