York County Libraries is a regional library system serving York County in Pennsylvania, comprising 13 full-service libraries, two pick-up/drop-off locations, and a Neighborhood library in York City's Salem Square neighborhood. It supports information access, recreation, literacy, and lifelong learning through programs for children, teens, adults, and seniors, offering more than 600,000 print and digital items for loan or use. A library card provides access to materials across all locations within York County. The system was founded in 1974 as an independent private nonprofit with a seven-member board to serve residents and taxpayers of the county. Through expansion in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it added libraries in previously unserved areas, becoming the York County Libraries by 1987. In recent years, the network has continued to facilitate community programming, including events such as the Youth Empowerment Summit.
