City of Des Moines Carrying On Together

Without question, we're living in the
most challenging of times, coping with a

health crisis testing us like never
before. We've changed how we work and how

we live. These changes are not often easy
but they are vitally important. As a city,

we must remain vigilant and strong to
move on together. We're counting on you

to join us in helping to stop the spread
of this deadly virus. By diligently

following the guidance of medical
experts and social distancing now, we can

ensure this won't last forever. With 75
parks covering 4,000 acres and another

81 miles of trails, it's more than
possible to keep safe social distancing.

Please help us keep these public spaces
safe for all users. While library

buildings are closed, you can still dive
into the multitude of stories and

resources, all that we have to offer
online. Do you need internet access?

Simply pull up outside any of our
library locations and you can enjoy our

free public Wi-Fi while maintaining safe
distances of course. We're continuing the

essential services we provide like
picking up trash, yard waste and

recycling. And carefully moving forward
with the street, stormwater, sewer, bridge

and infrastructure improvements we
promised. At a time when our City's most

vulnerable populations are being
challenged the most, we're here to

protect your rights. And we need your help in protecting the men and women on the

front lines of this crisis. The work of
first responders never stops please stay

home and stay healthy so we can focus
our efforts on those who need them most.

With great trial comes great opportunity
for learning and growth. We are preparing

to come back stronger than ever because
together

together

together we can and we will get through
this, Des Moines. Stay home, stay healthy.

We must do our part.
