The York Public Library Association
Incorporated in 1922, The YPLA is the nonprofit organization that owns the Library and protects its future.
Public funding provides a basic operating budget for the Library, but we rely on contributions from the York Public Library Association and its Members to continue to meet the needs of our community.
What does the York Public Library Association fund?
Operating Funds. The YPLA currently subsidizes up to 30% of the Library’s operating budget, supplementing Town funding for streaming services, online media, new additions to our collection, art exhibits, guest speakers, programs, and more.
Capital Expenditures. In the past five years, the YPLA has funded $700,000 in facility repairs and upgrades, including roof replacement, HVAC air handler and control system upgrades, alarm system upgrades, interior and exterior painting, masonry repair, and more.
Donate to the YPLA and support your library!
Your generosity directly impacts the services and programs we are able to offer. A contribution in any amount is greatly appreciated. A one-time or recurring gift amounting to $50 or more per year entitles you to membership in the YPLA. Members have the right to cast a vote on each motion proposed at the Association’s Annual Meeting in July, and may also propose new business.
