Time is running out, and we STILL need your input!
The Adams County Community Survey closes October 30, and we're anxious to hear from more residents before it's too late!

Those who have already completed the survey report it only takes about 5–10 minutes. That's a small investment of time to help shape the future of our community.

If you haven't taken it yet, PLEASE do! And help us spread the word by sharing with friends, family, and neighbors. We want every corner of Adams County represented!

Don't wait until the deadline. Your voice matters!

📣 If you missed our first call, there's still time to be heard!

We've received some great responses so far for the 2027 Adams County Community Survey, but we are still collecting responses for the 2027 Adams County Community Survey. Help us build a stronger, healthier future by sharing your thoughts.

📲 Scan the QR code on the flyer below or click the link in the comments to take the survey today!

It’s movie day!

Other Mommy hits theaters TODAY, October 9—and if you’re planning to see it, why not read the book that inspired it, too?

Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman is our October Cover 2 Cover Book Club pick. Read the book. See the movie. Then come talk about both with us!

Grab a physical copy at Four Star Library, or start reading or listening right away on Libby with your library card and PIN.

Which is scarier—the book or the movie? We’ll find out!
