We all dance for the enjoyment of the art, also to gain poise and confidence. Some students, however, are interested in long term goals which can lead to scholarships and professional careers.

Our dance program offers a progressive curriculum filled with technique and "terminology" - which is a key ingredient in the students understanding of his/her dance education.  We recognize that each child is an individual with unique differences in growth and development and our goal is to allow for these differences while continuing to challenge each student.  Inspirational building blocks are:

                                         Aspire       Commit       Encourage

We are artistry in motion and will continue to evolve with dedication and compassion!

We hope that you will join our growing "family" at Ace Dance Academy, where you and/or your children will enjoy the wonders of the world of dance, and experience the excitement of performing.

Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation is a grassroots non-profit that rescues injured, displaced, and orphaned wildlife mammals (specializing in squirrels, bunnies, and juvenile groundhogs) in Millersville Boro, Lancaster County, as well as the surrounding counties. We are the only facility in the state that specializes in the rehabilitation of squirrels, woodchucks (groundhogs) and cottontail rabbits. We bridge the gap between injured wildlife and the public!  

Our animal care team, made up of big-hearted, dedicated volunteers, care for these animals while they are being rehabilitated for the safe release back into the wild. Our wildlife rehabilitator is 1 of 2 individuals in the state of Pennsylvania and the only one in Lancaster County to hold the international designation of Certified Wildlife Rehabilitator™ (CWR), which speaks to her level of education and thus level of care.  

Nearly all these animals come to us as tiny babies or young juveniles! We raise them, teach them life skills, and then reintroduce them back into their natural wild habitat so that they can do their very important jobs helping our ecosystem.

We provide our human neighbors in Lancaster County and surrounding areas with a free resource for these species.  To our patients we offer a proper environment (clean, quiet, appropriate caging, and predator free) to grow, thrive, and recover with species specific optimal nutrition, as well as veterinary care. To our human neighbors and wild patients we commit to maintain and further our education as we strive to implement the latest technologies and practices.

We are 100% volunteer and no one receives a salary. We currently receive no tax funding, and thus we are reliant on the generosity of our community and events.

Our Founder, when not rehabbing, teaches at wildlife conferences at both the state and national levels. She is also on the Board of Directors for Wildlife In Need (WIN), the only state wide capture and transport network for orphaned, ill, injured, and abandoned wildlife.  

"As a reader and consumer of books, the library is my refuge.  When I was a child, my reading material always came from the library, and now I can share that with my children today.  Adamstown Area Library is the center of our community, and we have always felt at home here.  We've always felt supported and seen.  So, thank you, for making so many meaningful memories for me." - AAL Patron

It all began in 1945 when members of the Adamstown Area Women's Club - out of a cleaned out chicken coop - formed a "reading center" lending library.  In 1894, the library moved to the Adamstown YMCA and a few years later, the Adamstown Library Center was founded.   Almost 100 years later, in 1996, the Adamstown Area Library became an official public library, housed in the Adamstown Borough offices.  In 2020, the Library built a brand new library on Main Street, which added a much-needed reading room and dedicated children's room to the Library's space.  

Currently, the library houses over 36,000 physical items, 6 public computers, a children's play area, an adult reading room with fireplace, and a programming room.  The Library has a staff of three full time librarians and seven part time staff.  In 2022, we circulated 221,957 items, hosted 462 programs with 16,035 attendees of all ages, and had 2,000 visitors log on to our public computers.  

Of 35 comparable libraries (with similar population and revenue) in PA, we rank:

1st in children's circulation

4th in children's program attendance

5th in total circulation

6th in number of children's programs and total program attendance
