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.

Stop in the Children's area to learn about butterfly wings and the science behind how they move. Using straws, tape, and other supplies we will make a butterfly that can move up and down to flap it's wings, just like a real butterfly! Check out a book about Butterflies to learn even more about these amazing insects.
