TANG Hall residents have been enjoying their brand new library which opened its doors for the first time last weekend.
The new building on the old Burnholme College site is part of a new community centre dubbed The Centre@Burnholme.
Fiona Williams, the chief executive of Explore York libraries, said they were excited to open the “amazing” new facility matching the provision in Acomb and the city centre.
“We are looking forward to welcoming local people into the building and talking to them about how we can deliver the best services for them,” she added.
“We have enjoyed working with the council to make this new facility possible and look forward to the future and discovering the many possibilities it brings.”
The library has a reading cafe, learning spaces, local history service, free access to the internet and wifi, lending and reference library as well as space for community groups.
The Centre is also home to Burnholme Nursery; Tang Hall SMART, Activity Base services for adults living with a learning disability - moving from Burton Stone Community Centre - and York Community Church.
