Adventure Pass Ending in 2025

Due to circumstances outside of our control, the Des Moines Public Library’s Iowa Adventure Pass service 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.

Event Details

Celebrate Banned Books week and the NEA Big Reads pick Fahrenheit 451 with the book Verify by Joelle Charbonneau. 

Verify is about Meri Beckley, who lives in a peaceful world without print and without lies. But when her mother is killed and no one around her has any answers, Meri finds that her idyllic world is not at all what it seems. A dystopian thriller with themes of censorship, this read is great for teens, adults, and fans of Fahrenheit 451 and 1984!

Register online and *pickup a copy of the book at Central Library, then join us on Zoom for the book discussion! 

All ages.

*Please note, there are a limited number of library copies available for pick up. An e-book and e-audiobook version are also available via the library website.
