Hey YFS Film Lovers!

YFS is pleased to be re-introducing access to our film library by way of curbside pick-up for week-end borrowing! We thank you for your patience and understanding in advance as we work out this initiative!  

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS!

  • Requests for films are due on Friday at 9:00 am. Please fill out this form: click here
  • Pick-up for films is Friday from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM
  • Drop Off: Anytime via the mailbox outside, or drop them when you pick up more titles!

Maximum 2 films/person!

DVD's and Blue-Ray Discs are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and we will sanitize the cases between use.

Please consider dropping your films off VIA the mailbox on the Monday or Tuesday of the next week. This gives us time to sanitize popular titles and prepare them for pick up the next week!
