Unfortunately, we have lost our reservation software vendor regarding the Adventure Pass.  Reservations may be made through December 31, 2024.  However you will not be able to make reservations for the Adventure Pass after December 31, 2024 until this issue has been resolved. However if you have already made future reservations those are still in effect...you just can't make more reservations for after the 31st. of December, 2024. This is an issue for all libraries until a resolution has been implemented.  We know this is disappointing and somewhat confusing, so please reach out to Lori at the library should you have questions.  Thank you and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

What:  Adventure Pass (two adults and two children) to Blank Park Zoo and

the Science Center of Iowa - Once per Adult library card in a calendar year.

What will I need to reserve/use the pass:  valid adult Library card and a valid photo ID

Melcher Dallas Notification/Alert System Launched

Posted on  by 

For several months now, City Staff have been working to set up a Notification/Alert System to allow better communication with our residents.  This system is hosted by Everbridge.  Now, critical alerts about our water supply, community events, or other important information can be sent out quickly so everyone can stay informed.  We have set up a web page “Stay Informed with Alerts” with links that will allow you to sign up and learn more information about the Notifications and Alerts.  There was more information sent out with your water bill this month.  Please spread the word so your neighbors can stay informed as well.
