Horley Library and room hire

A lovely modern library with friendly, helpful staff and a great range of books. Recently reopened after Covid forced its closure. The shelves are a little empty as books are quarantined after they're returned. That said, you can order books easily online or in person.If you're so inclined, the range of books, magazines, comics and audiobooks available online is great too

What a lovely library, I have generally visited very outdated and tired libraries and got put off from going into them but this one is so inviting and the kids corner is very lovely, so my little boy absolutely loves it and we visit very regularly now.

Modern library building operating library services within Covid regime to protect users. Helpful & friendly staff are welcoming.

Lovely place to spend an hour browsing and the staff are always really helpful.As a history teacher I do love discovering new books and growing up here I do love the local history sections and maps. I would like a better range of periods and places in the history sections covered-very Tudors/wwii heavy... All very Henry and Hitler! More diversity of history in the Sociology section (oddly) with some Windrush stories and Ackroyd, Akala and Olusoga in there too. Would be great to have a suggestions box or a list up knowing what will be coming in stock soon/titles to be released. Just often find the newer big sellers tend to get stock elsewhere first so have to wait and pay for cross library loans a fair bit.

This library is really good.Firstly, there are a lot of Tom Gates books in the kids sections now (they are really good books for kids.)Secondly, they have lots of computers.Thirdly, staff are nice.And lastly, there are lots of activities for kids.The only flaw is that there are not a lot of ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ books. But the staff are so compliant that they checked the stocks of every library in the COUNTRY, to try and find 1 BOOK. That is incredibly kind.4****, close to 5.

Note;most of the reviews on here are for the library that was in Victoria Road,next to Queen's road until the summer.A lovely place,bright and airy,with sensible seating and study area.The new building is similar to what other council's have done wrong.Silly little tables - some with a recharge plug right in the middle.Absolutely no places to spread out books/study materials,bad visuals to locate sections and a meeting place right next to the computers.'Shared space' i suppose.Having spoken to staff who agreed,they explained that the council (they apparently think it's like Waterstones!) didn't listen to the needs of readers and what was needed - even though it's plainly obvious.A wasted opportunity - and of public money....

Hired one of their meeting rooms yesterday. This is the first time I had been in the 'new' library in Horley. A real improvement on the old tired building.In the main area, there is plenty of space to browse and plenty of seating to read or work.Meeting room ideal for what we needed and well equipped with small kitchen station.Staff very friendly and helpful.Internet not particularly fast but it did the job.

Would be better if staff weren’t so noisy, I’m sure they’re all lovely but they are continuously talking at a loud level! I thought library’s were meant to be a quiet place to read/study!

What fantastic service! I was in need of a printer to complete an Amazon return whilst I was in the area in between flights. I was not a member but the attendant was super helpful in getting me logged on to a pc and printer. Im just sorry I didnt grt her name but I was in such a rush. The library was clean, organised and vibrant.
