Horley Library - is on the move!
Horley Library is starting its move to Russell Square/Victoria Road.
Phase 1: 10th Oct to mid Jan - internal construction.
Phase 2: mid Jan to early of Feb - internal decorating / fit out.
Phase 3: Early Feb to mid Feb - installation of IT systems / books arriving.
This is an exciting move. Horley Library is one of the most used libraries in Surrey. Currently, we know very little about how the library will be set up. Libraries have changed and become great social spaces so we hope the new library will be innovative and become a centre-piece for the town. When we find out more we will post it here.
Over 1100 local people a week visit Horley Online.
