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

This event has been cancelled.

If you are interested in becoming a Library VolunTEEN, please stop by the library and pick up an application. All students must submit a VolunTEENs Application and waiver and have it signed by a parent/guardian before attending. Our next VolunTEENs event is April 20th.

Teens, do you need volunteer hours? Students ages 12-18 may volunteer at the East Side Library for 1 hour performing various tasks during the VolunTEENs program. This is a great way to earn volunteer hours!
