Essential building works March to June 2021
The next stage of essential repairs to the roof of Explore York Library will begin from 22 March for 12 weeks. We will need to erect scaffolding at the front of the building for the whole of this period and we regret that the accessible parking bays on Library Square will be suspended. 7 accessible parking bays are available nearby on Duncombe Place outside the Dean Court Hotel. Information about accessible parking in York.
While the works are going on you may prefer to use another library. Acomb and Tang Hall libraries are open during the lockdown and both have accessible parking. Just contact us to change you pick-up library and we will arrange for items to be sent there.
