About

The Adams County Public Library serves rural Adams County, Ohio with locations in Manchester, Peebles, Seaman, and West Union.

The four Adams County Public Libraries were founded independently, and were consolidated as a county-wide library system in 1999. The Adams County Public Library is a member of the Serving Every Ohioan Library Consortium, which provides automation, cooperative lending, and support to member libraries in Ohio. In 2013, a new library building was completed and opened on Moores Road in Seaman for the North Adams Public Library.
