Mysteries of York - postponed until the 18th of July!

If you didn't register for this program, you'll likely want to go on the waiting list.
Due to imminent severe bad weather, (strange coincidence, hmmmmm?) this walking tour of York has been postponed.

Procrastinators: someone else's schedule conflict may be your ticket to this really neat event.

Explore some of the strange, the hidden, the unexplained, the mystical and the magical sides of Downtown York in this two-hour walking tour with historian Georg Sheets.

This two-hour tour, covering thirteen city blocks, begins and ends at Martin Library’s Market Street entrance. Participants will wend their way through forbidden spaces, over cracked sidewalks and behind ghostly monuments. The Tour blends history and folklore with mystery and wonderment. Wear sensible shoes and bring your camera, if you dare. Not for the faint of heart or the ill at ease.

Tell us what you think!

If you have joined the Summer Reading Club, we're asking you what you think.

Now Adults can register themselves online (sorry teens and kids - for now it's still F2F for you)

Everyone can write a book review.

Adults, Teens, and Kids who write book review will see it appear on the website within a few days.

Not only that, but we're also interested in finding out what folks think about the events held at the different libraries.

Many libraries are offering prizes; your review is like a raffle ticket, and there are no limits to how often you may enter.

So... check and see what's happening at your library.

And remember - when it's hot you can come inside someplace cool and relax with a nice book.

This Wednesday night there will be two movies - Pirates of the Caribbean 1 & 2 - shown from 4-9 p.m.

There will be all kinds of snackage; poporn and soda will be provided free of charge, and candy machines are available for those who need sugary, chocolaty, or other tasty goodness.

Anyone who talks too loud, has their cell phone go off, or is disruptive to other viewers will be flogged and fed to the sharks.
