Loans of books and other materials

Our library offers a circulating collection of books, audio tapes, CDs, videos, DVDs, and periodicals for all ages. We also have several collections on long loan to our library from the Mid York Library System. Also available for in-library use is a collection of local history materials, including the Daughter of the American Revolution cemetery records.

More books and resources from the Mid-York System

Materials of all Mid-York libraries, as well as other regional libraries are available to you through our online catalog. Web access is provided through the Mid-York Library System Web Catalog and Electronic Resources site. At this site you also have free access to the EBSCO (magazine and newspaper articles), NYS Library Health Reference Center, NoveList, and other databases.

Please allow 3-5 business days if the books you order are available. You will be notified when they arrive at our library for you to pick up.
