Welcome to the Library

Embsay-with-Eastby Community Library is one of North Yorkshire's many local libraries. It is a community library run in partnership with North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC): the North Yorkshire Library Service provides the books and other loanable resources while the library itself is staffed entirely by volunteers.

For more information about North Yorkshire's libraries, see the NYCC website or see below for details of Embsay-with-Eastby's library that should help you visit.
