The Kreutz Creek Valley Library Center is a branch library of the York County Library System. Being a part of the library system enables patrons to have access to materials housed in the other twelve libraries that are part of the system. In addition, materials not available through the system may be available through interlibrary loan making the resources throughout the Commonwealth available to you through your local library.
The mission of the York County Libraries is to serve the York County community and enrich individual lives by supplying information, providing recreation, promoting literacy, and encouraging life-long learning. The Kreutz Creek Valley Library strives to continue to meet our library's mission statement for the betterment of the Eastern York community as a whole through our materials acquisition (the purchasing of books, audio books, DVDs and videos), our programming and our service to the community.
