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.

However, the role of Carmen has changed over time as audiences and opera companies have rethought how to approach this sultry character. Prepare for performances of Carmen this summer by joining Des Moines Metro Opera Preview Lecturer, Joshua Borths, for an in-depth look at this history of this incredible character and opera.
