Most of these passes are available to borrow from 4 days up to one week, though you should check with the library to find out for sure. Due to popularity, some passes may have a waiting list. Most libraries require you to return the passes in person, not in the dropbox. Please check with your library for full details.
These passes are made possible thanks to donations and are renewed on a yearly basis as long as the libraries have received donations to cover them.
