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.

Weather update for 12/14/2024

Learn how to use the Glowforge Plus Laser Engraver at Tech Central! This program takes the place of the 1 on 1 Glowforge tutorial, so you will be fully qualified to book and use the Glowforge on your own after this program. 

A library card number and email address are required to register for this program and to use the Glowforge. If you do not have a library card, please sign up for one prior to registering. You will also need to set up a Glowforge account prior to the start of the program using the email you provided when registering.

 

Please note that the class starts promptly at 3 PM. Due to the nature of this program, anyone more than five minutes late unfortunately cannot be admitted.
