Burlington Public Library Offers Free Community Access Passes to Several Sites Across City

Did you know the Burlington Public Library’s Community Access Pass can give residents free access to several amenities across the city?

With a BPL library card, you can borrow passes to gain free general admission entry to Art Gallery of Burlington, City of Burlington Parks & Recreation sites, Conservation Halton, Ireland House Museum, and Royal Botanical Gardens. Passes are available at all branches.

Due to their popularity, BPL kindly asks that passes are returned promptly.

Residents can place a request for a pass online or by phone with their library card. When it’s their turn, the pass will be available for them to pick up at their neighbourhood library branch.

Coming Soon: BPL will soon be adding Ontario Parks day-use vehicle passes for borrowing! Day-use vehicle permits will provide unlimited day-use access for one vehicle and its occupants to all provincial parks in Ontario where fees are normally charged.

General Information:

Passes must be checked out to adult card only;
Loan period: one week;
May be renewed up to 3 times, if no holds;
Holds may be placed on passes;
Passes are family passes where indicated;
Later returns: the full replacement value of the pass will be charged to your library account for passes that are not returned within two weeks of check out. Please refer to each organization for more specific details; and

Commenting Guidelines (click left arrow to read)

Here are guidelines before you comment, and our expectations before we will post:

Be civil. Would you speak this way to a good friend? If not, rewrite.
Focus on the issues. Build your argument and make your case in support of your opinion from facts, research or other sources. That way we can all learn. “I disagree with so-and-so because…” is fine; “So-and-so is naïve/stupid for thinking the way he/she does and here’s why…” is not acceptable.
Don’t make personal attacks. Don’t assume motives of those you disagree with, make unfounded allegations, spread rumours, or engage in any other behaviours that would discourage you from participating if someone said this to, or about, you. The Golden Rule applies: Do unto others as you would have done to you. We will edit or not post comments with this type of content.
Say it once: When comments from the same individual or individuals become repetitive, going over ground already stated, we reserve the right to close commenting.
Use your full, and real, name. If wish to make a comment in public, we expect you will publicly stand behind it with your name. If you don’t want to publicly reveal your name, that’s fine; you are always welcome to share your thoughts with me privately via my email below. I welcome and consider all feedback in making decisions for the community.
Have fun, consider and learn. Share your views and read those of others. May we all benefit from a healthy exchange of ideas, and learn a little more about the people in our community, what you think, and what’s important to each of you. You may end up changing your mind about an issue; even if you don’t, we hope everyone will gain a greater understanding of why people have different perspectives.
