Business Partnership

York Public Library, as a figurative, literal, and cultural center of our town, enjoys wide patronage from those who live or work in the Yorks and Cape Neddick. From young families to seniors, we serve all ages from the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers to Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z.  Our visitors are year-round residents of York as well as “summer folks” from among the tens of thousands who call York home between May and October. There is something for everyone at the library!

YPL receives roughly 65% of its annual operating budget from the Town of York, but relies on the support of donors to meet the educational, informational, cultural and recreational needs of our community. Your sponsorship helps provide the critical funding necessary to sustain the valuable resources and programming we offer this community.

Beyond the goodwill that that comes with your public support of the Library, your business will receive a number of benefits resulting in added exposure within the community, as listed in our Partnership Brochure. 

The Partnership Program for the ensuing year begins in the 2025 Fiscal Year.  Benefits go into effect on July 1, 2024 and expire on June 30, 2025.  Commitment to become a Partner is not due until June 1, 2024, giving your business ample time to factor in charitable giving as you prepare your budgets for the upcoming year.  

We look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Please reach out with any questions you may have. 

P.S. Can’t wait to support YPL?  Consider sponsoring our inaugural Mini-Golf at the Library event taking place February 2-3, 2024.  It’s a whole weekend of mini-golf, kicking off with a ticketed, adults-only  “Club House” fundraising event on Friday evening, followed by a free family fun day. It coincides with national Take your Child to the Library Day and will be a fantastic opportunity to reach York residents of all ages!  Learn more here or download our Mini-Golf at the Library Sponsorship Packet.
