About

Opening the door to your imagination

The Guille-Allès Library has been at the heart of life in Guernsey for more than 140 years. Founded by lifelong friends Thomas Guille and Frederick Allès in 1882, their vision was for the Library to become a hub for culture, learning, and community – and today our goal remains the same.

Through our vast collection of books, films, digital resources and other media, as well as frequent events for adults and children, we enrich lives and boost wellbeing across the community, with equality of access for all.
