Horley Library

Come along to Horley Library every Wednesday and Friday throughout the summer and immerse yourself in nature themed crafting inspired by the Summer Reading Challenge 2025! First session on 30th July! #summerreadingchallenge @SurreyLibraries @readingagency

Yesterday we signed up just over 70 children to this year's #SummerReadingChallenge so the "Start" section of our Progression Wall is getting pretty busy! But we can always find space for more - to join the Challenge simply pop in to see us at the library. @SurreyLibraries

What could be better than a book recommendation from a librarian! Having read Abi Daré's first book, The Girl with the Louding Voice, I knew I had to read the sequel to find out what happened to the brave and defiant Adunni! It's powerful. @SurreyLibraries @abidare_author

There are still a few spaces left to create your very own Tissue Paper Insects! Join us next week for our first Summer Reading Challenge event by booking through email or at the library helpdesk. @SurreyLibraries @loveoxted

We have once again teamed up with the @DSWFWildlife to offer 4 fab workshops this summer... starting with Create a Creature on 29 July at 10.30-11.30am. But places are going fast for all workshops - book online here: tinyurl.com/dswf-surreylib… @SurreyLibraries

We have a striking "animal" themed Library Shop display as you enter the library for a short time. Take a peak and maybe you'll find something you fancy! 😺🦕🦒 @SurreyLibraries
