The MidYork Library System is a nonprofit cooperative library system chartered in 1960 by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. The System’s mission is to improve and expand library service in the counties of Madison, Oneida and Herkimer.

The System accomplishes this mission by:

• Providing services at greater savings to the member libraries through economy of scale.
• Providing services and coordinating activities which allow libraries to cooperate and share their resources and materials easily and efficiently.
• Providing expertise and services which complement those of the individual library.
• Providing direct service to persons or groups who are unable to use traditional public library service.
• Acting as a component of the statewide library network.
• Providing leadership and advocacy on a state, regional and national level.
