Brighton & Hove Independent : 25th April *Hove Library is a treasured cultural asset for us all* http://brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk/phelim-mac-cafferty-hove-library-treasured-cultural-asset-us/ Leon's Library Blog : 24th April *Libraries as Social Hubs* https://leonslibraryblog.com/2016/04/24/libraries-as-social-hubs/ 'The public still value libraries and value them as a physical space.
