If you aren't a Bank of America cardholder, don't fret. Live Oak Public Libraries has partnered with the Coastal Heritage Society, which runs each of these museums outside of SCAD MOA, on the Coastal Heritage Society Family Pass, which gives a family free admission to any of the locations when you rent the pass out with your Live Oak library card.

The pass is usable for up to eight people per visit and each library location will have one pass available. The passes are valid for seven days.
