Additional locations in the York County Libraries (YCL) system have opened for limited browsing only. Library members may now enter most YCL buildings to browse and select books and audiobooks in adult collection areas. These services are in addition to the curbside and lobby service offered at libraries countywide. Kreutz Creek Library and Salem Square Library will not open for limited browsing because of their small size. Kreutz Creek has expanded its operating hours and will continue offering lobby pickup service. Salem Square will remain closed, and members needing service in downtown York are encouraged to use Martin Library.
Children's areas remain closed; however, themed book bundles for children are available upon request and youth materials are integrated into browsing areas at some locations. Regular story times, crafts, author events, book discussions and other programs are available at http://www.yorklibraries.org. Computer, printing and copying services will be reintroduced at YCL locations in the future.
Library members over the age of 2 must wear a mask or other face covering for entry into a library. Staff members are also wearing masks, as well as cleaning and disinfecting work and public spaces and social distancing. Plastic barriers are in place at checkout areas.
