By providing a place for personal or business research, leisure reading, free access to computers, or programs for adults, teens, children and families, libraries across York County have touched the lives of nearly every individual that has ever lived in our community.  York County libraries serve over 517,000  York Countians with “Answers for Living, Knowledge for Life.”

When you join the Endowment-Legacy Society at your library, you join the many individuals who have chosen to ensure that the library’s good work will continue well into the future. We encourage you to inform your library of a planned gift so that we may acknowledge your commitment during your lifetime.

York County libraries partner with York County Community Foundation to assist donors who wish to ensure an ongoing gift to their favorite library(ies). If you do not have a professional (such as an attorney, financial planner, and/or accountant) that can discuss the details of estate planning and you would like to name a Library as a benefactor in your will please contact the Development Office.

You may become a member of a library's legacy society by letting your library know you have done one of the following:

• Named a library/YCLS to receive a bequest in your will.

• Made a contribution for which you have lifetime income.

• Made a contribution to the library for a period of years, after which the assets return to your family.

• Made a gift of your residence or other real property.

• Donated life insurance.
