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

Help choose the next award winner!  Iowa’s Children’s Choice Awards are decided entirely by kids grades 3-6.  Join us for a Zoom bookclub where we will discuss Bob, by Wendy Mass of the Iowa Children's Choice Awards Books and go over the process for submitting your votes.  Each registered participant will receive a free giveaway of the book along with an optional activity bag to be picked up at the Central drive-up window.  These items will be available from November 9th-December 3rd.  Only one book will be given per family and additional copies are available through standard circulation for checkout.  

This program has limited space and requires registration.   After registration, you will receive a confirmation email with the link and password to the Zoom meeting.  Books are first come first served!
