Woking Library

Woking Library sits right in the town centre, a proper working library rather than a tourist attraction, but that's exactly what makes it useful if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks like Warren Farm or Weybridge Park Estates. The building itself is modern and functional - don't expect grand Victorian architecture, but the collection is solid: books, audiobooks, computers, and free WiFi that actually works.

You'll spend an hour here maximum unless you're genuinely after something specific. Families with kids might appreciate the children's section, and if the weather turns grim during a park holiday in the area, it's a sensible indoor option. There's a café on site too, which helps. The staff know their stuff and can point you towards local history resources if you're interested in Surrey's past.

It's free to use, though borrowing requires membership - a quick process if you've got proof of address. Opening hours are Tuesday and Thursday until 7pm, which is decent if you want an evening browse, but they're shut Sundays and Mondays. Between here and Chertsey Caravan Park or Horsley Camping just down the road, you've got options for a wet-day stop-off.

Not somewhere you'd plan a trip around, but genuinely handy if you're based locally for a week or two. The coffee's mediocre, mind.
