Adventure Pass Program Set to Pause on December 31, 2024

Posted by Anne W on Monday, Nov 25, 2024

The Adventure Pass Program is set to temporarily pause on December 31, 2024. The Adventure Pass provides free access to several Iowa attractions and museums when you make a reservation using your Iowa City Public Library card. Adventure Passes are still available to book through December 31, and all existing passes will be honored.

The pause is due to the loss of the reservation software used to book passes, as our vendor is unexpectedly ceasing operations. The statewide administrator for the Adventure Pass Program is working on securing a new vendor for Iowa libraries who participate in this program as quickly as possible. Until then, this pause affects all Iowa libraries participating in the Adventure Pass program.

We know you all love the Adventure Pass, and we are working to get it back up and running as soon as we can.

Visit icpl.org/adventure-pass for more information about the program or to book and print a pass for December!

  • We came, we saw, we left : a family gap year

    by Charles J. Wheelan

    910.41 /Wheelan
    Memoir, Travel

    "Charlie Wheelan and his family do what others dream of: they take a year off to travel the world. This is their story. What would happen if you quit your life for a year? In a pre-COVID-19 world, the Wheelan family decided to find out; leaving behind work, school, and even the family dogs to travel the world on a modest budget. Equal parts "how-to" and "how-not-to"--and with an eye toward a world emerging from a pandemic--We Came, We Saw, We Left is the insightful and often hilarious account of one family's gap-year experiment. Wheelan paints a picture of adventure and connectivity, juggling themes of local politics, global economics, and family dynamics while exploring answers to questions like: How do you sneak out of a Peruvian town that has been barricaded by the local army? And where can you get treatment for a flesh-eating bacteria your daughter picked up two continents ago? From Colombia to Cambodia, We Came, We Saw, We Left chronicles nine months across six continents with three teenagers. What could go wrong?"--

    In the middle of an Iowa winter, two years into a pandemic, during the week of Valentine's Day, what better to read than a funny, heartwarming, fascinating memoir of a middle-aged couple who spend a year traveling the world with three teenagers? Charles Wheelan brings a dry humor to his clear, concise descriptions of beautiful and surreal landscapes like the Bolivian salt flats and beaches of Zanzibar, as well as snafus like cleaning up his daughter's vomit with a bedsheet on a night train through India and getting lost in the Chilean jungle. He and his wife and their teenagers visit dozens of countries on a 9-month trip around the world with a strict, low-budget daily spending limit. Their adventures are so interesting and their experiences parenting teens so relatable you won't want this tale to end! -Anne W
