(Celina, Ohio) The Mercer County District Library in Celina is excited to announce the launch of its new Experience Pass program, offering library patrons free access to museums and attractions across the region.

At the time of launch, included locations are:

In addition to physical passes, the library is also offering digital passes that can be emailed to patrons for easy use on a phone or printed at home. Digital pass locations include:

• Fort Recovery State Museum

• Riley House Museum / Mercer County Historical Society Museum (always free; included to promote our local museum)

Experience Passes are available for a two-day checkout period and can be picked up either on the day of the reservation or the day before, giving patrons flexibility in planning their visits.

“This program is all about connecting our community with opportunities to explore, learn, and spend time together,” said Library Director Elizabeth Muether. “We’re proud to help remove barriers and make these experiences accessible to everyone.”
