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

Come join us as we celebrate National Playdough Day by making, molding, and stretching your creative muscles. We will begin by making playdough together before using tools and mats to encourage fine motor play, as well as a variety of counting, spelling, and creative activities. At the end of the program, attendees will also get to take home playdough and activity mats!
