Free Family Museum Passes Available at Morrow County Libraries Free family muse um passes to area museums are now available at public libraries throughout eastern Oregon, including those in Morrow County, thanks to a partnership between the museum and the nonprofit Libraries of Eastern Oregon (LEO). The passes can be checked out of the librar ies just like a book. Each pass allows all members o f a family living in the same household to visit the museums free of charge. Information kits contain ing the free passes have been sent this past month to public libraries in all 15 LEO counties by Tamasts- likt Cultural Institute. Maryhill Museum o f Art, near Goldendale, Wash., has also provided family passes to the 51 public libraries in the LEO region earlier this year, fol lowing a pilot project by the art museum in the previ ous year to provide family passes at selected libraries. LEO contributed funds to Tamastslikt and to the M aryhill art mu seum toward the cost of the passes with funding provided to LEO for its “A Sense of Place” project by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). A Sense of Place calls for increased collaboration be tween public libraries and area museums as a way of furthering understanding of the region’s cultural and heritage resources. By making access to these resources as simple as checking out a book, the role of the public library as a resource for opportuni ties in lifelong learning is strengthened while at the same tim e encouraging greater patronage at area museums, LEO officials said. Staff at The Mu seum at Warm Springs has agreed to provide family passes later this summer and negotiations are under way by LEO to purchase passes from other museums as well. “ We’re com m it ted to providing access to our museum,” said Carrie Clark, curator of education for Maryhill Museum of Art. “It’s exciting to have new people come in carry ing the pass.” C la rk re p o rte d sig n ifican tly increased numbers of visitors from com m unities w here the initial passes were placed, including additional visita tion by other persons who said they had never visited the museum previously but had heard firsthand about enjoyable visits from those who did use the pass. Maryhill Museum of Art exhibits include 80 works by Auguste Rodin, European and American paintings, objects d ’art from the palaces o f the Queen of Romqpia, one of the world’s largest collec tions of chess sets, prehis toric through contemporary Music in the Parks to be held Aug. 9 The Music in the Parks series will continue on Monday, August 9, at Boardman Marina Park at 7 p.m. Musical guests will be the Rolling Hills Chorus - (Sweet Adelines).

These agencies invite you to attend additional public scoping and information meetings about Idaho Power’s revised project.
