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

Robin Coarts, local author and co-founder of Plant-Based Point, is excited to take the mystery out of eating vegan/plant-based, provide some helpful tips, and cook for you! Join us for an education and food demo where you will be treated samples of everything you see made. The recipes to be demonstrated (from their cookbook, Beefless Cakes) are:

-Cashew spread

-Dressed up date cups

-Dips, dips, and more dips (how to leverage basic ingredients)

Robin and co-founder Jules created Plant-Based Point as a landing spot for anyone feeling the nudge to do something different.  Between reviews of the newest vegan products, developing their own recipes, and continuing to educate on the benefits of plant-based eating, Jules and Robin have found their happy place.
