Patrons need a valid, unexpired adult MMSCL card with fines not exceeding $25 to reserve a museum pass. Patrons must present their library card and proper identification when visiting a venue or museum. The ID must match the name on the museum pass.

Social Work Assistance

The library provides free social work assistance through interns from Stony Brook University’s School of Social Welfare. They can connect individuals and families with resources for housing, financial aid, food benefits and assistance with applications.

Call or check the library’s online program calendar for available appointment times and locations.
