Just recently, the program for FREE admission to local museums and centers through local libraries, Discover & Go, has rolled out in the city of San Mateo! Other SF Bay Area counties have the program such Alameda County, Contra Costa County, and even San Mateo County Libraries. I’m so glad my family and I can finally take advantage of it as well!
