Whatever information you're looking for, you can find it with the help of the Adams County Library System.  We are your gateway for exploration.

At the heart of all six branch locations are our librarians, who are here to help you connect with the information you need, in the format you want, such as:

  • Books, audiobooks and movies in traditional, hard-copy formats
  • Books, periodicals, and music in online, digital formats
  • Online databases for in-depth research
  • Public computers, internet access, and technology assistance
  • Story time, activities, and learning labs for children
  • Meeting rooms and collaborative spaces

As your library's materials have moved from card catalogs to online databases, from print to microfilm to digital publications, its community role has shifted, too. 

The library that once served as an oasis of information is now here to help you navigate today's deep, shifting sea of available resources.

While our mission will always include providing information, we are now expanding to provide access to new technologies, space for creation and collaboration, and enhanced programs for learning and exploration.
