Contra Costa County residents who are getting their free or low-cost passes to museums, science centers and other fun locations from the Discover & Go program can also get free rides to some of the attractions from June through October.
Contra Costa County Library is once again offering free Clipper cards for use with Discover & Go reservations to select attractions. The offer is limited to one request per household (for up to two $20 Clipper cards) and is available while supplies last, Library officials said.
