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.

Program Description

Event Details

As your parents age, they may have medical conditions that alter their physical or cognitive abilities to live as independently as they did. You may need to assist them with different tasks. Where do you start when their needs change? What types of paperwork should you complete? Who do you call to have your questions answered? Please join Kay Vanags from Aging Resources of Central Iowa to learn about all the services that are available for you and your parents. Prepare yourself to care!
