NEW in our Museum Pass Collection
Dog lovers will be “paws-itively” thrilled – the AKC Museum of the Dog was recently added to our “Museum Pass” collection!
The AKC Museum of the Dog boasts a combination of fine art, high-tech interpretive displays, and according to their website, “rotating exhibits featuring objects from its 1,700-piece collection and 4,000-volume library.” Three Village residents may borrow a pass for free admission for 2 adults and 2 children (12 and under) to the canine museum, located at 101 Park Avenue in New York City (the museum lists regular admission prices on their website as adults at $15, student/youth/seniors/active military and veterans at $10, and children at $5). Those with a pass not only get the advantage of visiting the museum for free, but also received a 10% discount to the museum gift shop. This pass is a “Print on Demand”, which means there is no need to pick up or return a physical pass to the Library. Users may print the pass from any computer, even from home. To reserve a pass, Library cardholders may visit emmaclark.org/museum-passes.
The Museum Pass program at Emma Clark Library features over 30 museums, gardens, historic sites, family-friendly attractions, and cultural institutions on Long Island and in New York City.
Please note: Our Museum Pass collection is available to Three Village residents only.
Those who borrow passes through Emma Clark’s Museum Pass program are encouraged to share their adventures on social media with the hashtag #EmmaTakesMePlaces. Emma Clark Library may be found on Facebook @emmaclarklibrary, Instagram @emmaclarklibrary, or Twitter @ESCML.

Teen Winter Reading – Not too late!
For those in Grades 7 – 12, join our Teen Winter Reading Challenge! It runs from Monday, January 13 – Sunday, March 2.
We have 3 awesome reasons to join:
– Read any books you want!
– Enter to win tickets to the Rinx Ice Skating and YA Books!
– You may “double log” your reading…enter the same book for both Winter Reading and the Teen 100 Books Challenge and earn credit for both challenges!
Click here to register. Registration is ongoing. There is also an app (Beanstack Tracker).
- Fill in the required information, and select “Teen Winter Reading Challenge 2025.”
- Log each book in Beanstack, and write a quick “30-Character or More Review” of what you’ve read.
- For each book review, you will instantly earn a raffle ticket, which you can then enter into the raffle of your choosing (including tickets to The Rinx Ice Skating)! The more you read and review, the better your chances! We will contact the raffle winners after March 2, 2025 when the Winter Reading Challenge has ended.
Winter Reading Challenge FAQs:
What can I read for the Teen Winter Reading Challenge?
Read any book you want – paper books, eBooks, even audiobooks count! If you’d like suggestions, check out the book recommendations in Beanstack, the Booklists on the Emma Clark Teen Page or email your Teen Services Librarian, Emily Ostrander, at emily@emmaclark.org.
How do I earn Raffle Tickets?
It’s simple. All you need to do is write a very brief review of the book you’ve read and enter it into Beanstack. Enter the books you’ve read one at a time into the reading log, and click “yes” when prompted to write a review. Reviews must be at least 30 characters long (which is really only a few words) to earn a raffle ticket. Completed reviews instantly earn raffle tickets which you can then enter into the raffle of your choice (including The Rinx Ice Skating). All raffles are drawn at the end of the challenge. Tickets are accepted up until 11:59pm March 2, 2025. Raffle winners will be alerted the week of March 3.
What’s an “Activity” in Beanstack, and why would I log it?
An activity is anything you do this winter. Logged activities do not earn more raffle tickets, but can be looked back on, just like a digital journal!
What are these “Badges” I’m earning when I write reviews?
Badges are just colorful, virtual stickers you earn for every review you write, in addition to raffle tickets. They are a fun way to keep track of all your hard work!
I want to register for the Teen 100 Books Challenge, in addition to the Teen Winter Reading Challenge. How do I do that?
When you register for the Teen Winter Reading Challenge, you should be prompted to also register for the Teen 100-Book Challenge. If you were not prompted, simply log out, and visit the Beanstack homepage, https://emmaclark.beanstack.org/reader365. Select the Teen 100 Books Challenge from the challenges listed, and follow the registration steps.
How do I “double log” books for both the Teen Winter Reading Challenge and the Teen 100-Books Challenge?
Once you are registered for both the Teen Winter Reading Challenge and the Teen 100 Books Challenge, any time you log a book and write a review, the book will automatically be logged in both challenges. You don’t need to take any extra steps to reap the benefits of both challenges!

Emma Clark employees, trustees, and members of their household are not eligible to enter raffles.
