Bossard Library to launch During the month of March, Bossard Library will officially launch its “Adventure Pass” program. This program will allow patrons with a library card in good standing to borrow a pass from one of five local and regional museums, cultural, or art centers. Each Adventure Pass will allow the patron to enter the museum or other entity with free admission. Patrons who are 18 years of age or older can borrow a pass for themselves or a pass for their minor child or children from one participating entity at any given time. All passes are available on a first come, first served basis. Upon checkout, patrons will receive a voucher that should be presented to the museum or cultural center upon arrival. Adventure Passes accrue no fines or overdue fees, and will automatically be removed from a patron’s card after a period of time. The various Adventure Passes have different expiration dates, depending upon the venue. Please see the participating entities below: Ariel Opera House 426 Second Avenue, Gallipolis, Ohio.
