How do library museum passes work?
Spokane County Library District offers reservable Family Museum Passes for the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture and Mobius Discovery Center. The same pass program listed by the District also includes Symphony, Cat Tales, Civic Theatre and soccer dates, according to the District's pass calendar. Reserve online, then pick up and use the pass for the listed date.
Passes are capped at two per year at least 30 days apart, so plan two visits rather than back-to-back weeks.
- Check the calendar for open dates before promising kids a trip
- Note admission terms on the reservation
- Set a reminder for the 30-day gap if you want a second visit
Can you get free hockey tickets?
Spokane Public Library offers Spokane Chiefs passes where each pass provides four free home-game tickets. Three passes are available per game, and reservations open up to 60 days in advance, according to the library's Chiefs pass page. That structure means 12 free seats per game are available through the library.
Families needing more than four seats should plan for two adults to reserve separately when dates allow. Reserve through the library's pass system and bring the confirmation stated on the pass. Evening and weekend games go first, so check dates early in the 60-day window.
Where can families find free groceries?
Second Harvest provides free groceries through neighborhood food banks, meal sites and drive-through Mobile Markets. Families in Eastern Washington and North Idaho can use its Food Finder and Mobile Market schedule to find a nearby site, according to Second Harvest's Food Near Me page. No purchase is needed to seek food help, which differs from a store deal or rebate.
Hours, lines and supply vary by site and day. Bring bags or boxes, check the schedule the same day, and confirm any ID or intake steps listed for the site. Mobile Markets work as drive-through pickups, so follow the traffic directions posted for each stop.
