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.

Event Details

Open Book storytellers, Lyssa Wade and Lenny Bell, will share their stories with patrons.

Lenny Bell: When I left New Orleans, I was like a track star running his most important race. . . only I had no final destination. I’ve been looking for that place ever since. Early on, college was always just something to do for me. Looking back, I could have applied myself more academically, but I was just happy with being on the road less traveled.

Lyssa Wade: Lyssa was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, and graduated from Grand View University. Lyssa has been acknowledged for her contributions to the Des Moines food scene and is a passionate food, water, land, and air protector.
