Iowa Adventure Passes | Each Library Broken Down

School is out and several libraries are helping you explore Iowa with a fun opportunity. Your local library offers so much more than just books, summer reading challenges, and storytime. Now, they are offering an Iowa Adventure Pass which allows families to visit and explore several area attractions. Any adult who holds a library card at their local library can participate.

Each library offers something a bit different. We are breaking down the rules and which libraries are offering which adventures below. Click the heading to be directed to that specific library.
