It’s time someone said it: The library is the best club in York

So you can erase any sense of FOMO you may currently be suffering; stuck inside the lib revising away as club nights go on and summer days near. Guys, you are literally where it is at.

Huge creds to Morrell, Fairhurst and Burton… who host a sesh like no other. Yes, the University Library is the best club in York. Free entry, it never closes and halleujah, no queues.

It never closes

OPEN 24HRS 7 DAYS A WEEK THE PARTY NEVER HAS TO STOP. The lights don’t come on at 3 am asking everyone to leave nor is there ever a mad stampede to get out.

Food is easily accessible

With a cafe to boot with a variety of tasty sandwiches, hot paninis, JACKET POTATOES and hot water readily available, the library ensures that all student needs are looked out for. Unlike your standard club, and the library very recently opened up a kitchen with a microwave free to use in Fairhurst.

No bouncers

No mean looking bouncers on the doors saying you can’t go in because your pupils are too big or kicking you out once they found the water bottle full of vodka under your shirt.

No bouncers are required at the library

Outfit flexibility

Heels? Nah mate. Sliders? Go on. You don't even need to wear makeup in this place, and no one will judge you. Rock up in your fresh Gucci tracksuit and get ready for a night to remember in the JB x

You don't have to look fresh

It’s okay to have a breakdown

It is completely okay to have a full on breakdown, like AA worthy. Drop all your folders and just have a cry. We’re all suffering the same dramas here. No judgement.

when you hear the birds outside but you're still only on 450 words

Big smoking area

No suffocating cage or standing out on the pavement here, the library smoking has benches, a shelter and grass to keep puffers happy whatever the weather.

No sticky seats

No nasty leather sofas sticky as they’re covered in jagerbombs and disappointment. The library has a variety of seats aimed at ensuring maximum comfort for students. Big up the lib x

Aint no sticky seats here

There’s a whiteboard wall which you can release your stress on

Can’t do this in a more conventional club. Plus, it’s always nice to nosey at what others have written.

Free blankets

Located in the foyer, the library staff are the cutest and look out for our welfare needs when we pull an all nighter when we have a 3000 worder due in. Name me a club which provides the same?!

Free blankets :0

It’s acceptable to have a nap

Fed up of watching lectures? No worries. Have a quick nap and LITERALLY no one cares. To be honest, we all wish we could do the same too.

We've all done it at some point

It’s not full of creepy middle aged men

Thankfully, it’s all just students.

You can listen to whatever music you like

Be it Mall Grab or Robbie Williams. No one will ever know. The library is basically a silent disco really.

Guaranteed to bump into someone so you can turn up alone

The library is covered with students, you're never far from a course mate or someone you got with once and who you don't really want to speak to again.

The library is potentially the greatest hangout spot in York
