Libraries and Cafes
Opening Hours
You will find all opening hours on the individual library and reading cafe pages of our website.
If you find it difficult to visit a library in-person, you may be interested in our Home Library Service.
Dogs in our cafes and libraries
We welcome all registered assistance dogs in our centres and are committed to providing an accessible, inclusive environment for everyone.
We also offer outdoor dog-friendly areas, these vary by location – the cafés at Hungate, Rowntree Park, Acomb and Tang Hall have outdoor terraces, and York Explore offers a garden space, where your dog is very welcome.
For details about a specific centre, just ask a member of our friendly team in person or email contact@exploreyork.org.uk.
Please see our Future Libraries page to learn about our plans to develop York’s libraries.
