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

Everyone has great family stories, but many times listeners don't get the humor, history, or moral in them. This workshop will tell you how to chronicle stories, use your six senses to create descriptions, and to whom to tell the stories. We will all create at least one family tale from a pattern. If we have time two patterns will be learned and two stories written. Those who wish can tell their story to the group for coaching and evaluation.

Maureen Korte has collected and told stories worldwide. This presenter is known for her Irish tales, as that is her ancestry, but she tells every kind of story from every culture to every age and type of audience. She tells at festivals, schools, businesses and many other venues across the US.  She worked for CultureAll, training ambassadors and creating programs for schools, the public, and businesses.
