Friends of the York County Library

People who care about the library are the heart of the Friends of the York County Library, a volunteer organization that supports the York County Library system. Through membership dues, book sales, and special fund-raising activities, the Friends of the Library provides funding for non-budgeted library projects and programs.


The Friends of the Library is the major local sponsor of the annual children's Vacation Reading Program, a program offered at all York County Libraries and on the Bookmobile to encourage children to read through the summer.


Membership benefits include:

  • Admittance to book sale preview night for four annual book sales
  • Advance program notice
  • Special Christmas sale in December.

To join the Friends of the Library, fill out a Membership form (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) and return it with your dues to any York County Library branch location. Membership forms are also available at all branches of the York County Library or by calling (803) 981-5837. Your membership card will be mailed to you within one to two weeks.
