Library Resources in Surrey

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.

Surrey libraries also run Author events whereby authors come along to the library and discuss their latest book. Authors for 2010 include Martin Bell, Vince Cable MP and "Who Do You Think You Are?" best-seller Dan Waddell.

Getting online is available at all libraries and anyone who is a member can have access up to 2 hours free in any one day. Thereafter, there is a charge of 3 for an additional 2 hours and non-members can pay this fee for usage too. Some libraries in the county have various items of equipment that assist those with disabilities to use computers. This can be large flat monitors, large keyboards, software that allows text that is shown on the screen to be heard, and adjustable tables for wheelchair access. Guildford library is one of the 15 libraries in the county that offer these facilities.

Guildford library, like other surrey libraries, also has a regular Friday afternoon storytime slot, a baby bounce and rhyme slot on Tuesday mornings and a monthly slot for "Blokes and Babies".
