Iowa Libraries Adventure Pass

Due to issues with the reservation software company used to make reservations, the Iowa Libraries Adventure Pass will be on pause starting December 31st. The calendar is still open for new reservations through December 31st. Reservations that were previously made for dates past December 31st will still be honored. However, new reservations are not being taken for dates after December 31st, 2024.

We know you all love the Adventure Pass, and we are working on finding a new reservation software to get it back up and running as soon as possible.

This will affect all libraries that participate in the Adventure Pass program.
