Book Exchanges and Group Study Sessions
Self-guided and independent tour of Surrey Libraries.
- Develop a library routine by scheduling regular self-directed class visits to the library to select and return books.
- Let us know of your plan to visit the library ahead of time to ensure that your visit does not overlap with other scheduled events.
- Let us know what topic students will be working on so that we will be prepared to help them find what they need. Allow students to be flexible in their choice of topic so not everyone needs the same material.
- Please remain with your group and support their use of the library.
Apply for Student Library Cards
- Print the student library card application form (pdf) and make enough copies for your students.
- Having trouble with the form? Please email vpaho@surrey.ca to request that we email the forms to you. You can also come into the library to pick up a set of forms.
- Important: Please allow plenty of time for parents to complete and sign the application forms. We need at least one week before your visit to process the forms after they have been returned to the library.
Visits to Schools
Our children’s team love being out and about in the community!
- Please invite us to your school or centre to promote the public library, the latest books, the Summer Reading Club and more to students and/or parents.
