Columbus Day

Reminder!

All system libraries will be closed on Monday, October 8th.

We will be open regular hours on Tuesday.

“We Are Coming, Father Abram”

The Adams County Library System and Adams County Arts Council have partnered to present a night of music and stories about Lincoln in the music of the Civil War.  Popular music tries to reach as broad an audience as possible by idealizing the world most of us recognize and inhabit.  It usually tells us that what we believe is worthy.

 “We Are Coming, Father Abram”:
Lincoln in the Songs of the Civil War

Will be broadcast on PCN, channel 95 on the cable, Friday, October 5th at 6PM and Sunday, October 7th at 3PM.

Performers: Michael Lasser, Cindy Miller and Alan Jones

Program Sponsored by: Pennsylvania Humanities Council

The 4-H Seeing Eye Puppy program has been rescheduled!

Members of the 4-H Seeing Eye Puppy Club will be at the Gettysburg Library on Saturday, September 29th at 4:00 pm.  Don’t forget to stop in!
