A first of its kind, Discover & Go provides access to museum passes, such as the Asian Art Museum, that can be printed online rather than traditional physical passes that must be picked up and returned to the library. As a Library cardholder, you have access to numerous museums and cultural institutions throughout the Bay Area.
Each Discover & Go pass expires immediately after the reservation date, so no returns are required, and there is no possibility of overdue fines! This unique program allows library users to make reservations online by date or by venue and print out a pass.
