Jubilee Library, Brighton (original) (raw)

Jubilee Library is the largest public library serving the English city of Brighton and Hove. The Jubilee Library forms part of the Jubilee Square development in central Brighton, a £50 million scheme to regenerate a 40-year-old brownfield site. Opened in 2005 by the Princess Royal, the library won several architectural design awards and has been described as "a triumph", "the most important public building constructed in Brighton since the Royal Pavilion" and "the superhero [that] saved the city". In terms of visitor numbers and loans, the library is one of the busiest in England.
