A Culture Pass gives a library cardholder free admission for two people at participating arts and cultural institutions across Arizona, like the Desert Botanical Garden, Sedona Heritage Museum, or Arcosanti. Passes are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers are limited to one pass per family at any one time, up to two passes per month.

Burton Barr Central Library will also host a Summer Solstice Celebration on Thursday, June 20 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to welcome the first day of summer and the longest day of the year.
