Beyond Books Collection

You know we have books, but times are changing. Find out what you can check out at Adams County Public Library Beyond Books.

Libraries have long harnessed and promoted the power of shared resources. A “sharing economy” is one that utilizes technology to enable users to share resources, goods, services, and even skills. You’ve likely borrowed books, movies, and music from our shared library collection. Maybe you’ve used a library meeting room, or you’ve shared a storytime or drive-up movie with other families.

But times are changing, our patrons’ needs are changing. To meet those needs, we’re continually expanding our checkout offerings Beyond Books.

Explore our Beyond Books collection below, and use the library catalog to place holds for items. (You must call your local library branch or visit the library for Bike Lending; online holds are not permitted.) To learn more about Bike Lending - click here.
