What a brilliant resource we all have access to – our local library. There over 50 libraries in Surrey offering not only books, DVDs, CDs, etc on loan but computer/internet access, rooms to hire and because it is a focal point for the community there is a lot of community information on display. In addition, some Surrey libraries are specialist libraries and hold collections; such as the Surrey History Centre at Woking that collects and rescues archive material relating to Surrey’s past.
Though some audio/visual items may be subject to a small hire charge, the wealth of books which are normally on loan for 21 days are free. You can even take out up to 18 books in one time or a maximum of 6 audio-visual items. Amazingly, you can renew your books up 15 times before returning them back. Unfortunately, the renewal on audio-visual is subject to additional hire charges. There is even a voluntary service where books can be delivered to your home for those who are housebound. There are 5 mobile libraries also servicing the surrey areas.
