There are a lot of eager Explore customers waiting to borrow our ten most wanted books. We have bought as many of these as our budget allows so if you can help out, we would be incredibly grateful.


Perhaps you have bought a copy and want to pass it on to another reader or you have received it as a gift that you would like to share. You can take your pre-owned books to any library in York and we will add them to stock to ease our waiting list.


If you would like to buy a title from our most wanted list we would be very happy to accept your gift. You can buy the book from your favourite bookshop and bring it in to us, but to make it easy for you, you can order a book from our partners at Fox Lane Books and they will send it straight to us with free delivery. Go to Fox Lane Books, select the title you want to buy and type EXPLOREBUILD in the ‘Enter a promo code box’ when you check out and click Apply. The book will then be sent to us free of charge.
