Welcome to the library
This is your space
Everyone is welcome in the library, whether you're a member of the University, a visitor from another institution, or a member of the public.
The main Library on Campus West consists of the Morrell, the Fairhurst and the Burton, and we have well over 1,000 single-and-group study spaces across our sites. These are divided into zones for different studying styles, with a blended approach of bookable and non-bookable spaces.
New to the library?
Whether you are brand new to York or you've been here for years, the library can be a lot to take in. We've got lots of guides to get you started.
Library essentials: how it all works
The first thing I told my friends is, just go into the library. Don't wait for anything! Don't wait for someone to guide you don't wait for anything: just go. People don't realise the depth of resources the Library has.
