ALTERNATE TICKET POLICY
Find yourself suddenly free for the day? Do you have cousins or grandchildren
visiting for the summer? Then head to the library! We often have spaces available
on program days due to cancellations and no-shows. Alternate tickets are given out
15 minutes before each program at the children’s services desk. Once the program
starts, we will determine how many alternate ticket holders can be admitted.
No guarantees can be made. Children utilizing the alternate tickets
must still meet age or grade requirements for each program.
Programs in the brochure marked with an * will not accept
alternates as they require attendance for several sessions.
