The Library was recently reconfigured with additional meeting spaces and 2 modern restrooms. It's a real treasure to have a place like this in the city.

I enjoy this library for our family. Kids love their collection. Prior to covid they had lots for kids to participate it. Especially over summer months. Only problem with adult area is you see alot of homeless people in library hanging around for LONG, LONG, LONG periods of time. Then their were issues with bathrooms not being available to public. Needs better management of these issues. Bathrooms should be available to people who are using the LIBRARY with a key and id system. As far as the lottering goes they need to address this issue because it does bring the morale of this place down. Hopefully after the covid re-opening the library used that time to plan of not having the same standards as before but better with public safety and public health in mind.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

It is free to obtain a library card at YCL. You may fill out an application on line or visit any one of our 13 libraries. The Hamilton Soundtrack may be found on Hoopla which is freely accessed through YCL and our libraries contain various materials on Alexander Hamilton.

How do I borrow library books from York County Public Library for a Kindle reader since they are using Axis 360? That platform isn't compatible with those readers.

Bambi Garrett | Oct 3, 2018
Mega 1985 | Oct 3, 2019

I think that would be a complaint for Amazon not YCL.

You are open Sunday I see. Do you have a proctor available for someone to take a real estate exam on line?

Kelly Fullerton | Oct 3, 2018
Amanda Brooks | Oct 3, 2018

Best way to find an answer to that is to call and ask them since most of the time questions here are answered by the community instead of someone at the library.

How do I check out books movies and CDs through my phone to the library

Marianne Borga | Oct 3, 2018
Martin Library | Oct 3, 2018

You can borrow or "check out" and download our ebooks, audiobooks, movies or TV shows available through one of our subscription services from your phone. It's free from our website. Sorry Google isn't allowing us to post URLs here. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer self-checkout in the library for physical library items. We're hoping this will change in the future, but as of June 2018, it is not a supported feature of our Integrated Library System. Sorry

Where did it get it's name?

Dawn Evans | Oct 3, 2018
Martin Library | Oct 3, 2018

Hi Dawn: Martin Library got its name from Mr. Milton Martin a York carriage maker. Mr. Martin set aside money in his will in the early 1900's to create a library "for the people of York". Library doors first opened on Halloween in 1935. You can learn about our history by stopping at the library's Information Services Desk and asking more questions!
