Super Access - Introduction at Dorking Library

Any full Surrey Libraries member can upgrade to Super Access membership allowing you to enter the library using your library membership card outside normal opening hours and use library services independently when staff are not present.

Before Super Access is enabled on a borrower's account, we are asking everyone to have a branch introduction with us so library staff can show you how the system works and how to use the library in Super Access mode.

If you would like to sign up for Super Access at Dorking library, please speak to a member of staff or book your slot for an Introduction to Super Access at Dorking Library.
