Adult Services
The Adams Public Library System's adult services offers many services for the general public including research and reference help, laminating services, faxing, copiers, music events, genealogy and local history, grab & go projects, in-person programming, and much more. The library's combined collections include over 100,000 items - books, magazines, DVDs, art prints, audio books, and more. In addition, as a member of the Evergreen Indiana library catalog consortium, library cardholders have access to millions of items in print and online from libraries throughout Indiana at the click of a button.
