In partnership with the Adams County Community Foundation Giving Spree, the Adams County Library is pleased to present nine Donor Information Sessions in October.

On the first and third Thursdays of each month, bring your machine and current project. This group gets together to work on charity quilts as well as personal projects. Beginners welcome.

We hope to engage our readers by offering books with a variety of story lines, genres, pacing, characters, and moods. Mostly we read fiction, but may include one or two nonfiction titles over the course of the year.
