Adventure Pass Changes in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Des Moines Public Library’s Iowa Adventure Pass program 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.

We are currently out of the Mini Pride Float Kits across the DMPL system, but we encourage you to create a float from supplies at home, such as shoe boxes, construction paper, stickers, tissue paper, pipe cleaners, glitter, markers, etc.! 

Once you finish your float, snap a picture of it and email it to LIB-Marketing@dmpl.org by 5 PM on Tuesday, June 15, to have your name entered into a drawing for a prize bag and your float featured on our social media photo parade!

To Enter the Drawing and Have Your Float Included In the Photo Parade, please include in your email:

  • Your full name
  • Age
  • Email
  • Phone Number
  • At least 1 photo of your mini Pride float

 All ages.
