Event Details

Martin Library's October First Friday will be a 90th Birthday Bash celebrating 90 years since we opened our doors on October 31 (yes, Halloween) in 1935. Come dressed in costume from your favorite decade or favorite Halloween costume and experience living history, trick-or-treating, and more!

This night will also feature the unveiling of the winning design of one of our historic arched windows, which will be then displayed in the front lobby. Learn more about the window design art plan here: https://www.yorklibraries.org/2025/07/10/martin-library-seeks-artist-for-iconic-windows/

Martin Library First Fridays are in February, March, April, May, September, October, and December (no January, summer, or November).
