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. 

Heat Press

Use the PowerPress heat press to transfer Cricut projects or sublimation printed designs onto t-shirts, keychains, phone cases, and more!

The heat press has a heat area of 15”x15” with a maximum temperature of 455° F and a built-in timer to tell you when your project is done pressing.

What You Need

The library has Teflon sheets and heat safe tape available for use free of charge. Please provide your own materials that you would like pressed.
