The Crocker Art Museum has partnered with the Sacramento Public Library to present Art Packs, containing an assortment of children's books, art materials, music, and games for ages five and under. Art Packs provide meaningful, developmentally appropriate ways for early learners to connect to and engage with the world around them through art.Each library branch within the Sacramento Public Library system has at least one Art Pack, and alternate Art Packs, including a bilingual (Spanish) Art Pack, are available through inter-library loan. To receive free admission for two to the Museum, all you have to do is show your library check-out receipt with the Art Pack listed. You may present your library check-out receipt as many times as you like for 30 days after the date on your receipt.
