Friends of Stoneleigh Library

Stoneleigh Community Library is now open for events and activities.  Please keep an eye on our Social Media accounts, and this website, for information about what's on.

We have introduced additional measures to keep our staff and visitors safe, and Surrey County Council has issued more general advice about the library service.
