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

Use your extra day in 2024 to drop into the Central Library and make no-sew tie tote bags to donate back to the community. We will have a variety of used t-shirts to make bags out of, but if you'd like to give another life to a well loved tee, feel free to bring your own from home. Each attendee will get to make one bag to keep and take home, but if you'd like to stay longer and make more bags, we will be donating them to use at our community fridge. We encourage families to attend and participate together!
