What is a Discovery Pass?

A Discovery Pass allows access to family-friendly educational experiences. Library cardholders are able to check out a digital Discovery Pass online and use it without needing to visit a library location.

Who Can Check Out a Discovery Pass?

The following library card types are eligible* to check out a Discovery Pass:

  • Unlimited Adult
  • Digital Adult
  • Educator
  • Non-Resident

*Note: Cardholder must be in good standing to reserve a pass.

How it Works

  • Check if a Discovery Pass is available on the library’s website or at any library location. A pass can be checked out up to two weeks in advance.
  • If a pass is available, library cardholders can reserve a pass with a timed receipt. This can either be printed out or presented digitally on a phone at a partner location.
  • Each pass is valid only for the day listed on the pass, and only one active reservation is allowed at a time. This pass is not valid for special events.
  • Library cardholders will present an ID with the pass when visiting, and IDs must match the name on the pass.

Other Information

  • If you need to cancel your reservation, please call the library at (574) 259-5277.
  • Due to the limited number of passes available, each cardholder is limited to one pass checkout every thirty (30) days.
  • Borrower agrees (a) that MPHPL is not the agent of our digital pass partners; (b) that MPHPL has no control over the experience that Borrower will partake in; and (c) that Borrower assumes any and all risks associated with using the pass.
  • The number of passes available will be limited to the library’s membership agreement. If you would like to support the library’s effort to offer these passes and other services, visit mphpl.org/donate/.
