York County Libraries will participate in this year's Give Local York. The 24-hour online event will be held from midnight through 11:59:59 p.m. on Friday, May 7. According to event organizers, community members came together last year to raise $3.5 million for more than 300 local nonprofits, including York County Libraries.
According to York County Libraries president Robert F. Lambert, services extend far beyond the four walls of the library. During the pandemic, York County Libraries shifted to enhance digital resources and create virtual story time programs to continue meeting community needs. During the first three months alone, York County Libraries renewed and issued over 1,000 new library cards to residents, providing free access to 80 reference databases and over 80,000 digital books and materials.
On May 7, several York County Libraries member libraries will host special activities online, outside, and off-site.
The Friends of the Kreutz Creek Library will host an event at Hallamshire Family Restaurant, 480 W. Market St., Hallam, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friends members will share details about the library's programming and resources as well as the new library now under construction.
A Hair Raising Fun Craft will be available at Kreutz Creek Library, 66 Walnut Springs Road, Hellam, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Community members may stop by the library to pick up a grab-and-go craft.
A Lunch Time Stress Break, sponsored by the Village Library in Jacobus, will take place at 12:15 p.m. on the York County Libraries YouTube channel. Adults are invited to take a 15-minute break for a story, stretching and "The Office: A Day at Dunder Mifflin Elementary." The event is geared to adults, but is appropriate for people of all ages.
Take a Hike! Online will be offered by the Dillsburg Area Public Library at 1 p.m. on the library's Facebook page. This program will explore local hiking and walking trails with library director Keith Greenawalt.
