Teen Cosplay & Fashion Show

In December, teens from around York County will show off their cosplay creations during our annual Fashion Show. Through creative and expert-led workshops, teens learn about wig-making, makeup effects, acting, sewing, and prop-making to bring their character to life. It’s almost time for them to show off their hard work!

It takes a Village: One Family’s Story

“We love our local library! It's a place where we can play for free, build relationships with wonderful librarians and other families, and enjoy enriching activities like story time. As a teacher, I believe you can never encourage reading too much, and the library is the perfect place to foster this lifelong journey. Thank you, York County Libraries, for providing our children with unique and enriching experiences--the benefits are endless! The Village library, in particular, felt like our own village for raising our children!”
