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.

Program Description

Event Details

Join us at Varsity Cinema for a party to kick off the 2023 Summer Reading Challenge and the launch of our Summer Reading Cinema Clubhouse film series! Rosie and a few of her librarian friends will be signing kids up for summer reading (get a free book!), plus contests, and much more fun.

After the party, head into the theater to watch the film, The Bad Guys. Admission to the party is free, and tickets to the movie are $9 for kids, $12 for adults, and every child gets free popcorn!

Cinema Clubhouse is a curated matinee movie series, and each weekend in June will feature a different film adaptation of a kids book selected by our DMPL librarians!
