Receiving eReminders about library loans
We can now send you an eReminder email three days before your items are due back. This will give you the full details of all the items that are due as well as a quick link to renew them, for which you will need your PIN.
If you would like to sign up for an eReminder email all you need to do is let us know and make sure that we have your current email address.
You can do this in any library or by contacting us.
Please have ready your full name and library card number.
We hope that these reminders are helpful, but please be aware that failure to receive a courtesy email will not oblige your library to waive any overdue charges that you may incur.
If you are late returning your library book
Charges for overdue library books can be found on the Library and services charges page.
Replacement library cards
If you lose your library card, you should let any Surrey library know as soon as possible. We will cancel your card to prevent anyone else from using it. Failure to let us know could result in you incurring additional charges.
Please bring some proof of identity and we will provide you with a replacement card.
Note: There is a £2 fee for a replacement card.
