York County Libraries' effort to improve and modernize its facilities will get a $2 million boost in the form of a grant from the state's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP). The funds will support efforts to continue the improvements at the Kaltreider-Benfer Library in Red Lion to accommodate increased usage at the library.
Plans at Kaltreider-Benfer Library include an expansion space for the children's library and a dedicated teen center and area for private study and silent reading. The design will expand the library to 14,000 square feet.
These funds will also assist the renovation efforts at Martin Library and Kreutz Creek Library. The Martin renovations will include an open space for the community to meet, an expanded teen area with digital media labs, and a place for hands-on learning for children.
The Kreutz Creek Library will move out of a FEMA trailer into the Hellam Township building. The township will construct a new municipal building, and officials donated the current municipal building for the library. The new library facility will include more computers and a new space to accommodate children, teenagers, adults, and seniors.
