Yosemite has its own library. You're not allowed to borrow books from it.; SFGate, August 31, 2023

 Eric Brooks, SFGate; Yosemite has its own library. You're not allowed to borrow books from it.

"Visitors aren't the only ones who have challenges at the library — the seasonal workforce at Yosemite encounters them too. Seasonal workers often don’t have permanent residence established in Mariposa County and technically don’t qualify to check out books from the branch. “It’s just not realistic to require that,” Mariposa County librarian Matt Johnson told SFGATE. “So much of the workforce here (at Yosemite) comes and goes. We have essentially gotten permission … to set up library cards for temporary residents.”

The Yosemite Valley location is actually one of two Mariposa County branch locations in the park. The second is in Wawona, not far from the iconic Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. It’s one of five branches run by the county."
