These practices can keep children healthy and stop the virus from spreading to others. This website will give parents some resources to share with their children.

YCS and YDL student library card program

We have exciting news for YCS students! Ypsilanti Community Schools and the Ypsilanti District Library are partnering to give every YCS student a free full-access library card with no late fees for borrowed items. The card is good at any Ypsilanti District Library branch for as long as your student remains enrolled in Ypsilanti Community Schools. You don't have to do anything more for your YCS student to receive a free full-access library card. However, if you wish for your student not to participate in the free full-access library card program, please fill out this form.. Thank you! We are truly excited about the resources and learning opportunities this partnership will provide YCS students.
