FACT OR FICTION? 🤔

The amount of funding libraries receive from state and local governments is tied to their level of use by the public.

For those who lived through September 11, 2001, the memory remains unforgettable. On this 25th anniversary, we pause to honor the lives lost, the selfless bravery of our first responders, and the unimaginable sorrow carried by the families left behind. We must teach future generations the true meaning of heroism and patriotism so that their sacrifices are never forgotten—because we must never forget.

Today, our community reflects on a day that permanently altered the course of history and the ongoing grief still borne by so many. In honoring the immense sacrifices made that morning, we also recognize the resilience that continues to bind us together.

For those looking to reflect, learn, or remember, a curated collection of histories, memoirs, and accounts from that era is available in our catalog: https://york.chilipac.com/booklist/PPwjV

Hard to believe, but this Friday is our final Friday night concert!

Whether the skies are clear or a little rainy, the music and dinner plans are officially on. If the weather behaves, we’ll be out enjoying the library lawn. If rain rolls in, our kind neighbors at Calvary Methodist Church are letting us head across the street into the Family Center to stay dry.

Pack a lawn chair, bring the kids, and let the food trucks handle dinner so you don't have to cook. We’d love to have you help us wrap up the season!

Food Trucks: 4:30 PM – 8:00 PM (Calvary Methodist Church, 203 Mumper Lane)

Free Concert with Hopeless Semantics: 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM (Library Lawn, 204 Mumper Lane)
