We're Here to Serve you!
The Adams County Library System is committed to serving the lifelong learning and enrichment needs of adults throughout our community. Our Adult Services team provides a wide range of engaging programs, educational resources, and support services tailored to diverse interests, backgrounds, and stages of life. Whether you're pursuing personal growth, professional development, or simply looking for social connection, the library offers something for everyone.
With programming offered at all six library branches and many opportunities available both in person and online, adults of all ages and abilities can find meaningful ways to learn, create, and connect. Our Adult Services staff is here to support you—whether you're exploring a new hobby, researching a topic of interest, or building skills for the future.
Visit our Events Calendar to discover what’s happening near you, and let the library be your partner in lifelong learning.
We host a variety of book clubs and discussion groups that invite readers to explore fiction, nonfiction, mystery, historical fiction, and more. These gatherings foster thoughtful conversations and build a sense of community among avid readers. Craft enthusiasts can join regular meetups for knitting, sewing, diamond painting, and other creative activities—many of which welcome beginners and provide materials.
The library also offers workshops and seminars on current topics such as digital literacy, artificial intelligence, resume writing, and personal finance. Our technology classes and one-on-one tech help sessions are ideal for adults looking to improve their computer skills or gain confidence using devices and online tools.
In partnership with the Adams County Literacy Council, we support adult learners through free literacy education, ESL instruction, and GED preparation. We also collaborate with local organizations to host events that connect patrons to vital resources, including veterans' services and health and wellness programs.
