Accessing Museum Pass page on the public library's website. T writes, marinlibrary.org on front-board. T instructs Ss to open Safari and type marinlibrary.org in search bar. Ss will see the library's main page above. Ss should scroll to the very bottom of page and will see the blue box in the next image.

Ss should click on "Museum Passes", above.

o

This page will appear after students click on "Museum Passes". Ss should then click on the ticket shaped Discover&Go icon.

The image below labeled, MARINet, will appear. Ss are to Log-in with their library card number and PIN. The PIN will either be the last four digits of their library card number or the last four

digits of their phone number. If they don't know their PIN, they should go to the library during open hours and talk to a librarian.

Once the Ss log-in, the page below will appear.

T will draw attention to the CALENDAR on the left column of this page. T explains, "The calendar that will pop will always be the current one".

T tells Ss, "So say I know I'm not working and have Sat, the 20th off and I want to get out of the house. I click the 20th on the calendar and the museum/events passes that are available for that day, pop-up. Scroll down and see what sounds interesting and/or is closer to you".

T makes note that the day you click on should turn BLUE, so you can see what day you are looking at in the near future.

Look carefully at pass offerings (below), some passes are for children only, some for a family of two adults and two children. Some are for one adult, one child. And various combinations.

Ss should make sure the location and distance is also doable. Lastly they should double-check the date.

Ss should pay attention to how many people are allowed per pass, that way they know that if the pass doesn't fully cover all their family members, they can expect some expenses, OR

* Two family members can use their separate library cards to get more passes, for the same date and event.

When Ss has decided on the event and date, they should click on the blue Reserve Pass ticket icon .

A pop-up box will appear asking Ss to confirm, Museum or Event and the date. If all is correct Ss should click, "OK".

On the screen above, the pass has been issued and the Ss can either, View Pass" or "Cancel Pass". It is a last chance for the Ss to change their minds.

This is what the pass looks like. The student can either "print it", or take a "screen shot" of it. Please note that the pass has all the information for the museum inlcuding: website-address, physical-address, phone number, hours of operation , etc. Ss will also receive an email with confirmation of their pass(es) and a hyper-link to view/access their pass,See image below.Please not that students are only allowed two passes per day.

Reflection Class went very well, the students are getting the hang of handling a computer and don't seem so scared or nervous. They are very excited about having access to Free passes to entertainment for themselves and their family. They mentioned they never knew they could do so much with computers. I reminded them that it is also because of the free public library services since it is through their portal they get them.
