Special Notice! Construction Alert


The Town of Southborough Facilities Dept. will be working on the downstairs parking lot entrance this morning and the remainder of the week. The Facilities team is hoping to repair and replace much of the damage to the pillars supporting the archway outside the door. The entrance will remain open, but there may be some disruptions while work is underway. Please use the library's historic front entrance or access the building through our emergency exists, which will be open and accessible for the duration of the project.

The Southborough Library is pleased to offer discounts to area museums and programs through our Museum Passes for our patrons as part of our work to build a vibrant community of lifelong learners! 



Thank you! We are grateful to The Friends of the Southborough Library and the Southborough Gardeners for donating these passes.

Picking Up & Returning Your Pass


Once your Museum Pass has been booked, please pick up the pass at the Southborough Library prior to your museum visit.


Passes must be picked up the day before or the same day of your visit.


Unless it is specifically an e-pass, museums will not accept an email confirmation from the Southborough Library for entrance.


Laminate passes must be returned the next day in the pouch (in the outside blue book drops located by the side entrance door near the parking lot or checked-in at a circulation desk) to avoid a late fee and to ensure the next patron will be able to pick up the pass on time.


Paper passes do not need to be returned to the library.
