Please check back in May 2012 to see what Year Five of the MAP program has to offer!

The Detroit Museum Adventure Pass (MAP) program will return for a fifth and final year in late May, 2012. Thanks to the generous support of program sponsor Macy’s, as well as the collaboration of partners The Library Network, Cultural Alliance of Southeast Michigan, and Library of Michigan Foundation, a total of nearly 300,000 passes to metropolitan Detroit cultural attractions have been checked out to public library patrons in a nine county area since October, 2007.

The new MAP will be an online program. This website will enable patrons to access information about the program, to ask questions, to print tickets for free or discount admission to cultural attractions, and to get reading recommendations that relate to venues’ exhibits.

Macy's, Detroit regional public libraries (through the Library of Michigan Foundation) and the Cultural Alliance of Southeastern Michigan are pleased to continue the Museum Adventure Pass for a second year. Come to the library and check out free passes to 28 area cultural institutions! A list of the participating cultural institutions can be found below. For more information, visit Royal Oak Public Library or contact Mary Karshner, Director and the ROPL coordinator for the Museum Adventure Pass program at 248-246-3710.

In a first-of-its-kind partnership in Greater Detroit, Macy's and Royal Oak Public Library, with other area Detroit libraries, join the Library of Michigan Foundation and the Cultural Alliance of Southeastern Michigan to announce "The Museum Adventure Pass, presented by Macy's." Royal Oak Public Library card holders can receive up to four complimentary passes to many of Southeast Michigan's world-class arts and cultural institutions. Royal Oak Public Library will have five passes for each of the following participating organizations available for check-out.

This collaboration provides Royal Oak Public Library card holders free passes to local museums, cultural centers and historical sites. The program is designed to enhance the learning experience for people of all ages through books and other library materials, and to provide access to arts and cultural organizations.
