Closures due to bad weather

Closures due to hot weather July 2026

From time to time some of our libraries will need to be closed to protect the health and safety of our visitors and staff.

Due to continuing hot weather and an Amber Heat Alerts in place, to protect the welfare of both visitors to the library and our staff.

All libraries remain open at this time.

We monitor the situation on a daily basis and will add details of any closures if the situation changes.

For information on keeping safe and well during this hot spell please visit Heatwave advice - Surrey County Council

Apologies for any inconvenience and hope everyone stays safe and well at this time.
