From Seacoastonline:
YORK – The York Public Library celebrates its 100th Birthday this month, and has announced special events and programming in honor of its centennial.
May 29, will mark 100 years since the York Public Library Association was incorporated. While smaller lending libraries existed in various forms prior to 1922 — and the York Public Library Association maintained a small library in the Austin Block as early as 1914 — the incorporation of the York Public Library Association in 1922 is significant because it allowed the construction of the first library building, on York Street, to begin.
