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!
Did you know animals speak in different languages, just like people do? Through this energetic picture book, travel through several countries and cultures around the world, and listen to the backyard chickens. On a farm in the United States, English speakers say that a chicken goes "bawk bawk" and a rooster goes "cock a doodle do," but in Mexico, Spanish speakers say that chickens go "co-co-ro-co" and a rooster goes "qui-quiri-QUI!" Learn what chickens say in Japan, Kenya, India, and more and practice the sounds! -Anne W
