Ssssssh! Bookworms Unite – York Libraries and Library Services

Libraries in York

The city of York has worked hard to build up a library network that rivals any other location in the British Isles.

Not only do the libraries in York supply the expected range of books on a variety of subjects, they also provide a large collection of services for the good of the community.

In total there are fourteen libraries in locations throughout York. Here we list a few of the better known ones.

York Central Library

York Central Library is York’s main library and is located in the centre of the city amongst the historical buildings.

The Central Library is a huge resource, housing everything from computers for internet access and to books, DVD’s and CD’s.

The library is due to be closed at the end of October 2009 for the Winter, and will reopen in the Spring of 2010 as it is being refurbished into an Explore centre to offer even more to the people of York.
