What They're Reading: Julia, 5th Grader "The Lost Treasure of Tuckernuck is adventurous and I'm really enjoying reading it. It was given to me by one of the librarians." She's also enjoying Rump by Liesel Shurtliff. "Rump is funny, mysterious and very intriguing. It is the "true" story of Rumpelstiltskin. It is really fun." |

Membership contributions support The York Public Library Association (YPLA), the non-profit entity that owns and governs the library and protects its future. The Town provides a strong basic operating budget, but it does not cover capital expenses or the increased costs associated with becoming the library we aspire to be—the library that better serves the needs of area residents, even during —or rather, especially during —a pandemic. Make a secure donation online now. |
