Over 8000 books to choose from, as well as videos, audio books, children's story tapes and children's videos. We have a small reference collection of encyclopaedias, dictionaries, medical and careers information; a large reference section is available at the Central Library - our staff can pass on your enquiry. Three computers for public use provide free access to the Internet, to computer based learning and to a range of software. An adult reading group meets monthly on Friday at 2.30 pm. The resources of all 15 libraries in the City of York can be accessed from Dringhouses.
