York County Libraries opened for curbside pickup of library materials on June 15. Members must reserve books in advance at http://www.yorklibraries.org and are then notified when the items are ready for pickup at the library. Members may also return checked out materials to library book drops.
The decision to offer curbside service is in alignment with the direction and recommendations of the Office of Commonwealth Libraries, Gov. Tom Wolf, Pennsylvania's Department of Health, and the CDC. York County libraries will gradually reintroduce the breadth of library services while working to provide a safe library environment for employees and members.
Staff have received training on recommended cleaning and disinfection procedures and will follow safe handling and quarantine protocols for returned library materials. Protective barriers have been put in place, and staff will wear masks and other protective gear for personal and public safety.
York County Libraries locations are asking that members wear masks or face coverings when utilizing the curbside pickup services. At several library locations, pickup of materials will be in the lobby. Only one member or family will be allowed inside at a time. These measures are required for everyone's health and safety.
All physical library materials currently checked out through York County Libraries have been renewed until Wednesday, July 1, and no fines are being assessed on these items. Services at the Salem Square, Manchester Township, and Springettsbury Township libraries will not be offered during this initial phase of reopening.
