Discover & Go, developed by Contra Costa County Library, is a nationally recognized partnership between libraries and museums offering library cardholders from every community, age group and economic background free and low-cost tickets to world-class museums, theatres, aquariums, zoos, and science centers.
The program allows cultural venues to reach out to people who haven't visited them or don't know about them; enables libraries to bridge the gap between books and hands-on cultural experience, and offers the public the chance to explore fun cultural opportunities.
