Explore York Libraries and Archives Annual Review 2022 - Report - Page 4
Here for you
In the year the world turned upside
down, Explore was here for you.
Our libraries and archives strengthen the community
by creating an inclusive sense of place. But what
happens when place is no longer possible? For our
staff the answer was simple: innovate, adapt and
overcome. As soon as we made the difficult decision
to close our doors, we immediately pivoted to new
ways of offering services and supporting those in
need.
Through virtual events and activities, new e-books,
e-magazines and e-newspapers, digital collections,
Click and Collect, Lucky Dips, Click and Deliver,
and the Home Library Service we were
here for the people of York.
