Giving Back to Our Community - YCARS Donates Books to York County Library
We are excited to have the opportunity to give back to our community and promote the growth of amateur radio!
The mission at YCARS is to promote the advancement of the art, science, public service, and fellowship of amateur radio. To achieve this, we believe we must get involved in our community. It was brought to our attention, that our local library only had two books about amateur radio available.
We had an anonymous donor give YCARS $500.00 to purchase educational materials. With this donation we decided to purchase amateur radio books and donate them to the York County Library. We purchased sixteen books that cover how to get licensed as a technician, general and extra, antenna physics, antenna set up, basic electronics, how to solder, portable operations, and contesting.
The books were dropped off at the York County Library on August 9th 2022 and will be available to check out in September 2022. We encourage everyone to check out the York County Library and the services they offer. Library cards are free to York County residents. More information can be found at York County Library (yclibrary.org)
If you have any like-new or gently used books on amateur radio (or any book in general), you can donate them to York County Library at any of their five locations. Books will either go into circulation or be sold through their Friends of the Library 501(c)(3) to support the York County Library.
