At the heart of a strong community, there is access to knowledge, opportunities, and tools that help people thrive. Your support helps us provide essential programs and resources that foster literacy at all levels:
Basic Literacy
We provide books and engaging programs that help children, teens, and adults develop strong reading and writing skills.
Information Literacy
In today’s digital world, knowing how to find and evaluate information is critical. We offer technology access, digital literacy initiatives, and workshops on navigating reliable information sources.
Civic & Social Literacy
An informed community is a strong community. We connect individuals with resources on voting, democracy, and community engagement, helping them become active, informed participants in the world around them.
Health Literacy
Access to reliable health information can change lives. We provide access to reliable health information, wellness resources, and educational workshops that empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health.
Financial Literacy
From budgeting basics to long-term financial planning, we offer tools and workshops that help individuals and families build financial independence.

We will never be status quo; we will always be relevant.
YCL understands that the community we serve is constantly changing and as a result, YCL must too. We strive to continually innovate and evolve to best serve the communities around us.
We inspire enthusiasm for creativity and learning.
At our core, we nurture creativity and learning through all that we do. Whether we are planning a book club, an educational workshop, a social event, or simply interacting with one another and our community, we find ways to inspire curiosity and knowledge.
We are a safe gathering place.
YCL strives to create spaces that feel like home where all are welcome. Our libraries are safe spaces for our community to gather, to learn, to connect, and to inspire. We open our doors to all who need our services.
We connect and engage our members and communities.
Through open dialogue and welcoming feedback, we engage our members and our communities. We offer services and programs that are engaging and thought-provoking to better meet the needs of our ever-changing population. Through intention and careful planning, YCL serves as an organization that helps build connections and relationships.
We respect all opinions and ideas.
We understand that our colleagues and our community are a diverse group with varying opinions and ideas. We listen carefully to understand and respect each other’s opinions, even though we may not agree. Respect and trust are core values that we live by.
We transform lives.
