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.

Event Details

At this free, family-friendly Hour of Code event, we welcome all individuals, ages eight and above, to receive an introductory experience to coding and computer science in a safe, supportive environment. Kids will choose themes of Minecraft, Moana or Star Wars for their hands-on project as they watch video-based tutorials, complete coding objectives, and learn basic coding skills. No prior experience is needed but familiarity with a computer keyboard and mouse is helpful.

Parents, we encourage you to enjoy this learning experience with younger students. All equipment is provided and registration is required. Food will be provided at the end of the program.
