Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

You Can Now Get Free Admission to NYC Museums with a Library Card - Please Read the Fine Print

There was an announcement yesterday that NYC residents with a library card from Queens, Brooklyn, or NYPL can gain free admission to 33 museums. The announcement implied that one can just walk into a museum, show a library card and get it. You can read all the details at https://www.culturepass.nyc/ .

One must access that website and pick a museum and make a reservation in advance. For some of the museums, one must have to wait a month or more for an open date. There is also a limitation on how many times one may visit a particular institution. In any event, this is a very good deal. I just felt that the details should have been given in the preliminary announcements.
