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

This month, Forest Avenue Library is hosting an exhibition of teen-made memes about privacy. If you'd like to learn some practical tools for being being safer and more secure--from your school, advertisers, or the FBI agent behind your screen--without flinging your phone into the sea, come tonight and bring your device! We'll talk about ad blockers, encryption, and what we know about device monitoring at DMPS.

Silly name aside, this event is open to anyone old enough to find it interesting, including adults.
