What's New @ The Library


Adventure Pass

Adventure Pass

Through December 31, 2024, adult customers in our dedicated service area (Marshalltown, Haverhill, Ferguson, rural Marshall County) can reserve a family pass (2 adults and 2 children) for the Blank Park Zoo, Science Center of Iowa, Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden, Des Moines Children’s Museum or Grout Museum in Waterloo using the online system. If you already have a pass reserved for a 2025 date, it will be honored. However, no new 2025 passes can be reserved at this time, as there may be a pause in the availability of Adventure Pass in early 2025, due to a switch in the software vendor that administers the program. Call the youth desk at the library at 641-754-5738, ext. 3 with questions.
