Adventure Passes are like checking out a book, but instead of reading a story on pages, your family can create real life memories together. Any adult with a library card in good standing can check out passes that provide free entry to participating family fun destinations locally. There is NO charge for the program. Adventure Passes are available on a first-come, first-served basis and can be checked out through the Atlantic Public Library. To check out an Adventure Pass, a family simply needs a valid library card and someone 18 or older checking it out. Patrons will have 7 days from checkout to “Adventure Out” and use the pass.

Other activities coming up the Atlantic Public Library, include “An Alaskan Sled Dog: Mush with Noggin” on June 6^th at 10-a.m. Join library staff and profession musher Karen Land and her Alaskan Husky “Noggin,” in observance of 2025 as the 100th Anniversary of the 1925 Diphtheria Epidemic Serum run in Alaska.
