All libraries, except Frimley Green, are now back to normal opening times and we are slowly reintroducing services.

From August 2021 we started the work to make significant changes to our IT and computer systems. For full details please see our library news page. This work continues and there is still some disruption to some IT services such as: computer access, access to online resources only available from Public computers, printing and scanning. Please see individual library pages for details about your nearest library.
