Library Closure Dates - January 2026

All West Sussex libraries, including Southwater Library will be closed on Monday 19, Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 January 2026 to enable staff to change over to a new system.

Please note that no items will be due back during the closure period of the library and no overdue charges will be incurred. We will not be able to take any telephone renewals during the closure period.

All libraries will re-open at their usual times on Thursday 22 January, when we look forward to welcoming you back for book borrowing, placing reservations, using public computers and attending our regular activities.

Library Reservations

All book reservations will be paused from Monday 12 January until Thursday 22 January. Don't forget to pick up any reservations you have awaiting collection before the temporary closures begin. Visit West Sussex Libraries page for more information.
