In my experience, the staff are all very helpful and always willing to go out of their way to provide the best service. The library as a whole has a very homely feel and the book selection is very wide (though I would not go as far as to guarantee that you'll always find what you're looking for as sometimes you won't). The shelves are always well organised and it is easy to find what you're looking for. The automated checkout is very effective and it allows you to quickly renew, borrow or return books during your visit or at the end or beginning. An interesting feature of the library is the massive variety of children's books in Chinese and Russia that have been donated. This is great if you're trying to teach your child their native language (or just want to read them a book in it) but it is also great for language learners who are looking for an easy read with simple grammar and spelling. Therefore, whether you're looking for a quiet place to read/study or browsing for books, I would definitely recommend Woking Library!

A big library in the centre of the town ,very nice service .
Surrey libraries have been a huge aid to my high education learning while in lockdown. Super impressed by the service by Woking library in particular. Extremely responsive and attentive, went above and beyond to help me with library and renewal issues. I can’t say I’ve been in the library for any other purpose than to loan and return books but if it’s anything like what I’ve experienced so far, it’s among the best. Will continue to support and use Surrey libraries as long as I live in Surrey!
I actually went in to use the tables to study. I felt completely comfortable doing this. I found that there were information leaflets about Woking and events, and other information about events in the library itself. I needed to photocopy some things for study, it was easy to do at 10p A4 black and white. Other options are 1.00 A4 colour or 1.50 A3 colour. In one corner there were lots of books retired from the library. Children’s books were 25p and some titles there were several copies available. Good titles too like the Gruffalo and Aliens in Underpants. Adult books were on offer at 50p. On purchasing the books, I found the staff member very pleasant, friendly and helpful. A good facility.
This was once my go to place for reading, reference and working, alas no more. It is now noisier than the food court in the peacocks, the volume often set by the loudest member of staff who talks at the top of her voice and shouts across the library. On the plus side, it is a well stocked library with computer access and wifi, but if you need solitude or quiet to work or read, this is not the place.
Very good library with new book arrivals all the time. Very friendly and helpful staff. Interior quite fresh and cosy.
The staff are very knowledgeable about the library system and also very helpful.
Really good selection of children’s books and lovely seating area for little ones. Great library.
