Adventure Pass Changes in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Des Moines Public Library’s Iowa Adventure Pass program will no longer be available in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. We hope to reintroduce the service at a later time, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Program Description

Event Details

Entrepreneurs are risk-takers, dreamers, and optimists. No mountain is too high or idea too wild for those with a can-do attitude and a sense of adventure. But, statistics show that 50% of new small businesses no longer exist after five years. Entrepreneurs face many legal challenges that make it hard to keep the doors open. Things like tax problems or badly-written contracts can distract business owners from focusing on clients and sales. Join us for a discussion of the most common legal issues that entrepreneurs face along with some practical tips for how to avoid them so you can focus on doing what you do best – growing your business. A free brunch will be served. This program is part of the Main Street 101: DMPL Small Business Workshops series sponsored by American Enterprise.
