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.

Program Description

Event Details

April is National Poetry Month, and we're celebrating with blackout poetry! Blackout poetry is a style of poetry where the poet uses something that is already written, like a book page, and blacks out everything except select words. The words left on the page create a poem or story!

Join us at Central Library to learn about, practice, and share this style of poetry! We'll provide all the supplies you'll need; just bring your creativity!

Registration recommended.
