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.

Program Description

Event Details

Did you enjoy corn this summer? What about popcorn while watching a movie? The corn we eat today was first discovered and grown by Native Americans. Through trade and sharing growing methods with other Native American tribes and Europeans, corn has become an important food for many people around the world.

In honor of Native American Heritage Month and the many foods Native Americans shared with the world, Central will have a drop-in craft where you can make a corn necklace from beads and pipe cleaners.

We will have a craft table set up in the children's area while supplies last.
