Acomb Explore Library

Explore provides the public library service for York and manages the City Archive. We aim to give everyone somewhere to dream, to discover and to experiment. We help people get access to opportunities that spark imaginations. We love to share the joy of reading with adults and children. Our network of libraries and reading cafes help people to meet up and connect more deeply with the place they live in.

More than just books, Acomb Explore has rooms to hire and is a flexible space in the heart of the community. As well as browse and borrow, you can drop-in for a chat and to find out what’s going on. You can use a computer, do your printing or connect to our free Wi-Fi. We offer digital support to help you get online too. Our library is accessible. We have a welcoming cafe serving a variety of food and drink.

Across our Explore Libraries we offer a variety of regular activities, such as Reading, Craft and Games Groups, as well as activities for children. We also have a range of one-off events for all ages. Find What’s On that you’d like to try out.

If you still love reading but find it difficult to get to the library, try our Home Library Service which offers you the books that you love delivered straight to your door.

Are you looking for a volunteering opportunity? We love our Volunteers at Explore and there’s a range of roles available.
