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

Sam Weller, the authorized biographer of the late Ray Bradbury, worked intimately with the legendary author for 12-years. In this program, he will share never-before seen stories, insights, fascinating details and images related to the 1953 Bradbury masterwork, FAHRENHEIT 451. Along the way, Weller will tell the captivating story of his own tender relationship with Bradbury, and examine why FAHRENHEIT 451 continues to endure with its prescient predictions of an anti-intellectual, media addicted world.
