A good place to start your visit to York where there is a cosy cafe corner to relax and plan your trip. Lots of interesting books to read and helpful staff to advise and ask about York.I've attended this much loved building for years & it's provided me and friends with help support and the staff have always be kind and helpful. It's the real community of York for residents and people who come to York..See for yourself join us..

Such a lovely library! The cafe space is so sunny and welcoming with excellent hot drinks and friendly staff who always make my day. Reading room upstairs is a great quiet work space. Always some new books to check out as well! So grateful for my local library:)

Visited York Explore Library and Archive today as part of Aesthetica Film Festival 2022. It was a lovely place with lifts inside and most of does not have stairs (if there are stairs there is a lift) or major ramps for accessibility. The first floor was beautiful! I will certainly return on my next trip to York.

A great area with a wide selection of children's books. Close to the cafe too for when they need a snack.Just needs a little more room to sit and eat with them without blocking some of the book storage areas
