One Longfellow Square is proud to partner with Portland Public Library to help make live music more accessible to our community. Through the Library Pass Program, Portland Public Library cardholders can check out a free ticket to any OLS show, subject to availability.

Since launching the program, more than 600 Portland Public Library patrons have attended concerts at OLS through a library pass, representing over $20,000 in ticket value. Artists are compensated for these attendees just as they would be for any paid ticket holder, ensuring that access and artist support go hand in hand.

The Library Pass Program costs OLS approximately $10,000 each year to sustain. Through the generosity of donors and community supporters, we’re able to continue removing barriers to live music and welcoming new audiences into our listening room.
