Ripon Library

Tel: 0845 034 9524

The new Ripon Library was opened in October 2001 by James Gordon of Radio York.

Membership is free and all you need to bring with you is proof of your name and address. Under 16s need to have the signature of a parent or carer.

Childrens Area

The specially designed children's area has books for babies and plenty of comfortable spaces to relax with a story. Spend some time browsing thorugh the latest stories for older children and look at the selection of children's videos and CD ROMS.

Books & Reading

There is a much bigger selection of books for our adult readers and space to relax while you choose. A large collection of local and family history materials including books, maps and photographs will make learning about the local area easier than ever before.

Films & Music

The new library features a greatly expanded range of videos and compact discs for adults and children and a new collection of DVD films. There are also listening posts that offer customers the chance to test out some of the newer CDs and DVDs before borrowing.

Free Internet Access

Free internet access is available through a suite of computers which also offer word processing and other office programs.

Special Needs

For customers with special needs a passenger lift gives easy access to the library. The collections of large print and audio books have been expanded and books on CD have been added as a new service.
