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.

Program Description

Event Details

While spots that include a rubber stamp are full, feel free to stop by any time during this program to learn how to make a rubber stamp on the Glowforge on your own, even if you aren't registered! 

 

Join us for another Glowforge program! This time we'll be making rubber stamps. Choose one of our designs and include your information for a custom rubber stamp! Then on December 2nd, you'll pick up your stamp and backing, as well as learn about making stamps using the Glowforge. For this program we will be providing rubber and acrylic backing to make the stamps! You do not need to stay for the whole two hours--just stop by for 20-30 minutes any time between 4 and 6.

The designs you can pick from are: From the Kitchen of _____, an Ex Libris bookplate, or an address stamp. Three design options will be available for each. Click on the program image to see the designs. All stamps except for 3 and 7 will be approximately 2"x1"; 3 and 7 will be approximately 2"x2".
