York County Libraries welcome your donations of materials.
We request that donors bring in items during library hours
so that staff may evaluate them. We carefully review
donated items to determine the potential value to library
patrons. If our staff determines that the Library needs a
donated item, we add it to the collection. If the Library
does not need an item, the item may be added to our ongoing
book sale, but will not be added to the collection.
Please bring the donated materials to the main desk along
with a note listing your name, mailing address and telephone
number.
If you have books that you would like to
donate, the following libraries take donations on an ongoing
basis. The general guidelines for donating materials
