Teen Resources
The Adams County Library System helps teens build critical digital literacy skills, which they can use for homework help, to obtain scholarships, secure jobs, effectively manage their online identity and more. Because digital media plays an important part in a teens' life, we're working to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of digital media, especially the nonprint resources offered, such as e-books, e-readers, databases, audiobooks, and social media.
Teens will find resources for planning for college, career choices, and more:
- Library of Congress
- Teens Health
- Occupational Outlook Handbook
- Bureau of Labor Statistics K-12
- PA DMV Teen Driver Information
- FAFSA (Federal Student Aid)
- Fastweb (Scholarships)
- National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
Teen's Programs & Book Clubs
We offer a wide variety of programs throughout the county for a variety of ages. We also incorporate unique book-related activities such as crafts and games to make the story come to life!

STEAM
STEAM is the abbreviation for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. It's an integrated approach to learning that encourages students to think more broadly about real-world problems.
STEAM programs help students:
- Ask questions
- Connect the dots
- Problem solve
- Think creatively
- Be innovative
Throughout the year, Adams County Libraries offer students the opportunity to explore the world of STEAM through programs that challenge and enlighten. In addition, families can check out selected STEAM materials and continue the discovery process at home.
