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

Stop by the Children's Area and pick up a "Ghosts in Disguise Challenge" 

Here is the challenge: This ghost is looking for a spook-tacular new look, and we need your help! Grab your craft supplies and create a clever disguise for our ghostly friend.

Will it be a superhero, a pirate, or maybe even a librarian in disguise? Once you've crafted your ghost's new outfit, bring it back to the library, where it will be proudly displayed for all to see during the month of October.

Let’s see how many different disguises we can create—our ghost can't wait to try them all on!
