Our blog title to the contrary, there's more to Iowa than corn. Here's our collection of things to explore while you're in town; the links to the right should help you find something to do while you're visiting Des Moines.
While we're sure everyone will love touring the Iowa Regional Library and its adminstering agency, the Iowa Department for the Blind, and we
know you'll enjoy the food at the reception, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that
Gail Sheehy will be speaking in Des Moines that same evening. She'll be a short cab ride away, at
Sheslow Auditorium on the Drake University campus, and her talk starts at 7:00pm on Wednesday evening. (There is no admission charge, as this event is part of the
AVID , Authors Visiting in Des Moines series.
)
If a
Library of Congress survey hadn't named her book
Passages one of the 10 most-influential books of our time, we might not mention it at all.
