Explore & More Adventure Pass Program

Explore More with your Preble County District Library card!

How does it work?

PCDL patrons who are in good standing may borrow an Explore & More Pass from the library to explore educational and cultural experiences. The Explore & More Adventure Pass Program enables PCDL patrons to borrow passes using their library card. This onetime pass, which must be checked out in person, grants patrons limited free access to attractions that would otherwise charge admission fees.

Pass Rules

  • Explore & More passes are only available for in-person checkout at the Eaton Branch. Patrons can check their availability at preblelibrary.org/catalog and typing “Explore & More Pass” into the catalog search bar. Passes can be placed on a hold for 24 hours. To ensure that the maximum number of patrons can participate, the loan period for these passes is three days.
  • Each organization sets its own rules for how many individuals are covered under its passes and on which days the passes will be honored. Patrons are advised to call the organization ahead of their visit for hours and rules.
