£750,000 of funding has been secured to extend and improve Acomb Explore Library.

£750,000 of funding has been secured to extend and improve Acomb Explore Library. £250k of the total is the result of a successful application to the Arts Council’s Libraries Improvement Fund. This is on top of the City of York Council’s already committed £500,000. The council say that the funds will support significant upgrades to the popular library learning centre in Acomb to ensure it continues to be an important asset to the people of Acomb. They also say that the building project will help to boost access to the library learning centre’s many valued and important services and will maximise longer-term opportunities for Explore to generate income.
