If you are a York County resident, you can register for a free library card.  Bring your Pennsylvania driver's license or some other identification that has your current street address to the nearest York County Library System library. (Sorry, a PO Box is not sufficient.)

Cards may be obtained by anyone who works in York County, college students with an ID from a York County college, and any Pennsylvania resident who has a library card with an Access Pennsylvania sticker.  

Cards may be issued to persons of any age; however a parent or guardian must be present to sign the registration application of children 12 and under.

You can register, get a library card, and check out books the same day.  

A York County Library System card may be used at any York County Library System library.
