The Delaware County District Library (DCDL) is opening the door to a world of imagination, creativity, and color—literally.
Thanks to a new partnership with the Columbus Museum of Art (CMA), library cardholders can now check out more than just books. Through the Library’s new Culture Pass program, Delaware County residents can experience one of Ohio’s most celebrated museums—for free.
Culture Pass: Your Ticket to Creativity
Culture Passes offer free admission to the Columbus Museum of Art for up to eight people—perfect for families, friend groups, or anyone looking for a vibrant day out. With just a library card, adult patrons can:
- Visit the CMA without paying admission
- Enjoy free parking
- Receive discounts at the Museum Store and Schokko Café
- Access full museum member benefits for one visit
Culture Passes can be picked up at any DCDL branch or requested through Outreach Services. Each pass is valid for seven days from the date of checkout, and only one pass may be borrowed at a time.
