At the heart of island life since 1882
For almost 150 years, the Guille-Allès Library has been a hub for culture, learning, and community in Guernsey. Founded by lifelong friends Thomas Guille and Frederick Allès, their vision was to create a Library for everyone - and today our goal remains the same.
By providing free access to books, ideas, and trustworthy information, the Library enriches lives, champions reading, and supports wellbeing across the community, with equal access for all.
