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

Join us online for Take & Make: Wine Cork Trivet! 

Registrants will receive a FREE kit some of the supplies needed to make a trivet. A trivet is very similar to a pot holder. It is used under a hot pan so it doesn't ruin your table or counter. Please note that you will need a high temperature hot glue gun or other permanent adhesive. If you have questions about what will work, please don't hesitate to contact Haley. 

Registration is required to receive a kit. After registration, you will receive a confirmation email with the link and password to the Zoom meeting. This link is how we will get together to learn how to make a cork trivet. The kits will be available for pickup at Central Library's Pickup Window during curbside pickup hours from Wednesday, January 6th - January 26th.

Library staff will monitor the chat and will pass those questions along from the chat. Disruptive or disrespectful comments in the chat may result in removal from the program.
