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

UPDATE: Due to excessive heat expected on the day of the program, this program will be hosted inside the Central Library in the meeting rooms. Masks are encouraged. 

 

Love anime and manga? Want to nerd out about it with other people who love it, too? Then join us for a Manga Meetup!

Each registrant will pick up a manga kit---complete with a manga, pocky, and a craft---at the Central Library Pickup Window prior to the program. Each kit contains a different manga title, so be sure to read the manga in your kit before the program. Kits will be available starting Thursday, June 10. Then, we'll all get together to talk about the manga we read and all other things anime and manga, and do the craft!

 

Your kit will contain one of the titles from the following list of manga: 

Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama

Bortuo by Masashi Kishimoto

Your Lie in April by Naoshi Arakawa

Noragami: Stray God by Adachitoka

Demon Slayer by Koyoharu Gotoouge

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V by Shin Yoshida

Haikyu!! by Haruichi Furudate

One-Punch Man by Yusuke Murata 

Silver Spoon by Hiromu Arakawa 

My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi
