If you are approaching along the B1222 from the direction of Selby, turn right at the traffic lights. If you are approaching from the direction of Leeds, turn left. The library is signposted just past Mario's Pizza Place and is located to the rear of the row of shops, set back from the road, on your right and before the Co-op supermarket.
