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.

Event Details

What do the terms romance, mystery, fiction, sci-fi bring to mind? Have you ever wondered if there is more to these terms than what meets the eye? Are you looking to expand your reading horizons?

Every season, roughly every 3 months, we move on to explore the ins and outs of a new genre. For the Fall (August, September, October), we are travelling to the past with historical fiction!

Our August book is The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo.

This program has limited space and requires registration. After registration, you will receive a confirmation email with the link and password to the Zoom meeting.   

After you register, copies can be picked up at the Central Library pick-up window. Books will only be given to those who are on the registration list (please wait until the day after you register to pick up your book to allow staff to update their list).
