Community Explorer FAQs
If you are a Mulvane Public Library (MPL) or KanShare cardholder 16 yrs or older, you may check out a Community Explorer Pack at the Mulvane Public Library (you must be the responsible party on your card).
You may check out one Community Explorer Pack per loan period. The loan period for packs is firmly one week (museum pass access expires after 7 days). Only one Community Explorer Pack per household may be checked out at a time. There is a 24-hour waiting period after returning a Community Explorer Pack before the pass for the same pack may be checked out again.
Community Explorer Packs may be placed on hold. Search the card catalog under “Community Explorer Pack” to reserve a pack. Please place only one pack on hold at a time per household. Packs must be picked up and returned to MPL. Community Explorer Packs may not be renewed because of high demand. You have only 3 business days to come in and check out a pack once you have been notified the pack is ready. If you do not pick up the pack in the allotted time, the pack will move to the next person in line. We would be happy to add your name to the list again at the end of the hold queue.
Due to high demand, the overdue fine for a Community Explorer Pack is $5 per day (no grace period). If the pack is 1-week overdue then the museum pass will be suspended and patrons may be billed for the entire pack replacement, some Explorer Pack values exceed $500 dollars. Note: Once the pass has been suspended and a new pass created, the patron will be charged $50 plus any fees associated with duplicating/reprinting a new pass. This is in addition to any late fees and replacement costs of bag and materials.
Community Explorer Pack replacement costs vary per pack, please inquire at the staff desk for exact costs.
