Adventure Pass Changes in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Des Moines Public Library’s Iowa Adventure Pass program will no longer be available 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 make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. We hope to reintroduce the service at a later time, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Program Description

Event Details

Have you ever wondered what it would take to make a gingerbread house from scratch? This year, local gingerbread expert Linda Railey will teach you how!

At the program, you'll be measuring and mixing your ingredients, rolling out the gingerbread dough, and cutting out the house shapes. We will also mix up royal icing. At the end of the event, you'll take home your gingerbread, ready to be baked, and everything you need to build and decorate your house!  

Register and come alone or bring a group or your family to work with you (one house per group). Please bring a baking sheet to carry home your gingerbread!
