Volunteers: Hats Off (But Pants On!) For All You Do!
April 20-26 is National Volunteer Appreciation Week! Here at the library, we try to show our gratitude
year-round, but this week gives us an extra special excuse to sing your praises. Now, I was brainstorming
ways to express just how much you all mean to us, and my mind, as it sometimes does after a long day
of coordinating, led me down the rabbit hole of the wonderfully weird world of national awareness
days. Stay with me here…
How Adams County Library System is Funded and Why It Matters
Every April, National Library Week celebrates the vital role libraries play in our communities, providing access to knowledge, resources, and a welcoming space for all.
