Chapter 60 Exhibition
Chapter 60 - Library Celebrates 60 Years of Knowledge and Community
As we mark Sussex Library’s 60th anniversary, we’re celebrating six decades of knowledge-sharing, community, and innovation with a special exhibition. Chapter 60 invites you to explore the Library’s journey from its founding to today, reflecting on our shared history and looking forward to the future.
Visitors will step back to 1964, with the Library’s official opening ceremony featuring images of Queen Elizabeth II in the inaugural visit that began this legacy. Each decade since then is brought to life with unique gallery displays, highlighting significant changes, achievements, and moments that shaped our community.
One exhibition case includes comment books capturing a wealth of memories, conversations, and lively exchanges between Library staff and visitors—many familiar to long-time members. Attendees are also invited to share their own stories and reflections, creating a collective tapestry of shared experiences and fond memories.
We welcome staff, students, and the local Brighton and Hove community to be part of this celebration. Come and honour 60 years of learning, connection, and community-building within Sussex Library.

The exhibition runs from Wednesday 13 November to Friday 20 December in the Library’s Open Learning Space, BN1 9QL. (The Library is open to external visitors from 9am-7pm daily.)
