Library Lockers
24-Hour Pickup Service
Library Lockers are a remote locker service that provides all York County Library cardholders with a convenient, contactless pickup option for checking out items they have placed on hold. These lockers, located at all 5 library locations, are available for 24/7 access, even when the library is closed.
How the Lockers Work
Log in to your library account and search the online catalog to find and place holds on the items you want to check out. When placing your holds, select a Library Locker pickup location, then wait to receive an email, text, or phone call notifying you when your items are ready. Items will be held for seven days.
To pick up your items, visit your designated Library Locker and scan your library card or enter your card number at the touchscreen. Follow the onscreen instructions to open the assigned locker door(s) and retrieve your materials. You will receive an email receipt with the due dates for your items.
