Mid-York Library System

Behind many public libraries in Oneida, Herkimer and Madison counties stands Mid-York Library System, based in Utica. The system works quietly in the background, helping member libraries share materials and services so residents of small towns and larger cities alike can reach more than their own shelves.

For most people the way in is a library card from a local branch and a visit to the nearest member library. Utica, the Oneida County seat, is home to the system, which is a member of the Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce.
