Mystic Seaport Museum Pass at the Goshen Public Library
The Goshen Public Library is proud to announce that we have added "Mystic Seaport Museum" of Mystic CT to our Museum Pass List. Mystic Seaport Museum is open 7 days a week. The museum pass allows 2 adults and 2 children in for half price during normal museum hours (after hour programs are an extra fee). For a family of four this is a savings of $39. The Charles W. Morgan, the last wooden whaling vessel built in 1841 is currently being restored and is out on the lift dock - this is an excellent opportunity to see her in a way you won't see her again for a long time. The museum also has amazing scrimshaw, impressive art and live demonstrations.
The Friends of the Goshen Public Library provide all of the Museum Passes that we offer to our patrons. Some of the museum passes allow free admission and some are a percentage off the admission rates. We ask that you call ahead to reserve the pass if you are set on a specific itinerary.

Saturday Hours Changing at the Goshen Public Library -- 9AM to 2PM
Starting January 7, 2012, our Saturday hours will shift to accommodate our patrons’ busy schedules. Saturdays are days when people rush to make it to the post office, go grocery shopping and run other errands. So, we too will open earlier – 9AM to 2PM.
From after Labor Day to July our hours will be 9AM to 2PM and from July to Labor Day Weekend our hours will be 9AM to Noon. It seems that because of our summer hours, our patrons would be confused about our start time in the summer and fall transition -- so we felt that opening at the same time every Saturday would be a help. Our patrons can now always come in at 9AM it is just the closing time that will shift depending on the season. www.goshenpublib.org
