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

As your parents age, they may have medical conditions that alter their physical or cognitive abilities to live as independently as they did. You may need to assist them with different tasks. Where do you start when their needs change? What types of paperwork should you complete? Who do you call to have your questions answered? Please join Kay Vanags from Aging Resources of Central Iowa to learn about all the services that are available for you and your parents. Prepare yourself to care!
