The Adams County Library System Board of Trustees is proud to announce the purchase of a subdivided plot of land at the United Lutheran Seminary in Gettysburg, marking a major milestone in the system’s commitment to expanding access to library services in the community. The site has been secured specifically for the future construction of a new, purpose-built public library.
This acquisition reflects the Library Board of Trustee’s long-range planning and dedication to ensuring that residents have access to modern, welcoming, and resource-rich spaces. While design and construction timelines are still in the early stages, the Board views this as a pivotal first step in creating a facility that will serve the public for generations to come.

“This is an exciting and important moment for our library system and for the community we serve,” said Heidi Gillis, President of the Library Board of Trustees. “Securing this location gives us the opportunity to thoughtfully plan for a new library that meets current needs while preparing for the future.”
The Seminary location was chosen for its accessibility, community significance, and potential to support a vibrant, inclusive library environment. The Board extends its appreciation to the Seminary for its cooperation throughout the subdivision and sale process.
