“We’re excited to debut this innovative collection that will help make museums and other destinations more accessible for everyone in our community,” said Williamsburg Regional Library Interim Director Sandy Towers. “We hope to provide more opportunities for library users to learn from and engage with the rich cultural experiences that these sites have to offer.”
According to WRL, depending on the pass type provided by the venue, users can either reserve a physical pass available for four-day checkout or print a pass on demand to be used solely on their reservation date. Admission coverage varies by destination and depending on the pass type provided. Only one pass can be checked out at a time per museum and cardholder.
Explore Virginia is part of the larger Learning to Go collection at the library, which offers users the opportunity to check out puzzles, games, craft tools, toys, and tech. For users looking for other experiences available through WRL’s Learning to Go collection, park packs with passes to Virginia state parks are also available for checkout.
