Adventure Pass temporarily shut down in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Iowa Adventure Pass program will temporarily shut down 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 still make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. The service will return at a later time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Weather update for 12/14/2024

All locations of the Des Moines Public Library will be open normal hours Saturday, December 14, and all locations will serve as emergency warming shelters during open hours.

Event Details

Learn how to design your own 3-D Prints! Join us for a Zoom class teaching the basics of using the free online software called Tinkercad to design a bookmark model.  A week after our class you will be able to come pick up your printed projects.

This program is best for ages 9-16, has limited space, and requires registration.  After registration, you will receive a confirmation email with the link and password to the Zoom meeting.  You will need to make your own Tinkercad account before the class starts using tinkercad.com.  Feel free to play around on it before class to familiarize yourself.

One print will be created free to class participants along with a set of examples for coordinates/infill for future design. A follow up class will be scheduled for those wishing to learn more.
