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.

Event Details

Whether you're just starting to think about purchasing your own home or getting ready to make repairs, our handy panel of experts can help you find your way!

Buying a house can be an overwhelming process, but there are several resources available to Des Moines residents free of charge. Hear from the Neighborhood Finance Corporation about forgivable grants and home repair loans.  The Financial Empowerment Center provides free financial counseling to help you plan to reach your goals. Learn about forgivable grants, selecting a contractor, and how mortgages work and ask questions from people who know the process inside and out!

Participants will also be entered into a drawing to win one of ten gift cards to the Slow Down Coffee Co.
