Bucks for Books Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Bucks for Books?
Bucks for Books is a fund-raising campaign created to purchase new books for the York County Library and its branches. In three years, Bucks for Books has raised funds to purchase about 3,500 new books that could not have been purchased through the regular library budget.
Q: What is the goal?
The current goal is $30,000, which would allow the Library to purchase about 1,650 more books than it could have otherwise.

Q: May I write a check or use my credit card?
Checks are accepted and should be made payable to York County Library. We also accept Visa and MasterCard.
Q: Can we donate books?
Book donations are not accepted for Bucks for Books. The Library receives discounts on the books it purchases and can therefore make money go further than book donations.

As with the question above, all donations will be used for the York County Library's entire book collection, benefiting all customers regardless of age or interests.
