Libraries play a very important role in communities, providing free access to books, newspapers and the internet as well as opportunities to rent music and films and meet authors. They are a fantastic resource for families too, as this year's plans for National Libraries Day shows.
Surrey libraries will be hosting the Big Storytime on 9 February with the majority of libraries holding half-hour long story sessions throughout the day.
