Additionally, a plaque identifyingthe fund is added in the Main Library. Named En-dowment Funds require a minimum contribution of $1000, and can be added to, in any amount, at anytime, increasing the number of annual purchases.A personal contact for each Fund is advised on anannual basis of the materials chosen and placed inthe collection.The mission of the Adams County Library Systemis to provide all county residents access to librarymaterials and information services that address theneeds and expand the aspirations of the communityfor formal and lifelong learning, enrichment andpleasure.
