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

Do you think journaling isn’t for you? Too hard? Too scary? Unsafe, even? Journaling to Heal will answer those questions and more. Journaling is an inexpensive, readily available practice for self-awareness, problem solving, goal setting, and much more. This three hour workshop, led by Billie Wade, is designed to help you use journaling techniques on your life journey whether you have never opened a journal or have boxes of organized journals.

Light snacks will be provided, but feel free to bring a lunch. We have a limited number of journals to provide to attendees so please bring your own if possible. This program is for adults 18+.
