York Minster Library

If you’re a lover of old books, this might be up your alley. Go check out the old books in the gallery, there are tons of old books there. I’m personally not a huge reader, but I’m sure this will be great for a book lover. When you go in, there are lockers on the side where you haven’t got a choice but to lock your bags and jackets away. I was told pictures are allowed (though 1 said yes, the other said no, and had a quick discussion about it). The area that I did go into, was a bit smaller but still neat to look at, though I think there’s a much bigger /​lavish area.
Also, I was told that there was a section which just looks beautiful (like the Harry Potter library, as he said!). There was a section where it looked like you can only enter with a keycard. It was really quiet in the library, and i really regret NOT asking, as I’m sure what was behind the door was this harry potter like reading room and library that I was looking for! Maybe if you ask nicely, you can take a peek? So, NO, i didn’t get to see the room of these pics that I’ve posted up. Not sure how you get in there as I mentioned, it looked as if you need special permission to be in there.
Apparently, there are lots of original works housed at this library, including plays. For a £25 membership, you can BORROW these original works. Kinda crazy!!!
I’m giving it 5 stars, because, I know the beautiful room is hiding within, maybe another visitor can check it out and see if they’ve made it behind the doors to that beautiful library room?!
