About Lynx
The public libraries of Lancaster County are pleased to announce the launch of Lynx eResources for Everyone.
Lynx offers a wide range of premium content, including e-books, audiobooks, magazines, newspaper archives, business and academic research databases, tools for students and teachers, and job-seekers. Library card holders can access anything from genealogical records to car repair manuals and it all comes from reliable sources.
Lynx has something for everyone, whether your interest is reading the latest issue of a popular magazine, working on your own car, researching your genealogy, or doing your homework! All you need is a library card, and library cards are free to residents of Lancaster County. (Don’t have a library card? Simply visit ELANCO Library with a photo ID and get one.)
Questions? Call the library at 717-354-0525 or email adagostino@elancolibrary.org. Tutorials on how to use Lynx: eResources for Everyone can be found at https://learn.lancasterlibraries.org.
