I think you'll find Brighton is a tad bigger than Lewes with just one or two more residents....hence the bigger library....a difficult concept to grasp I know....

Certainly libraries need improving countrywide I think. Less and less people are reading, kids in particular. Its the most basic and important thing, being able to read your own language well, as well as it being a great learning tool for life.

Well said Geoff. It seems that we have so many other things in our lives to entertain us, like films, games, forums!!! and we have forgotten how good a good book can be.

hadn't commented on the size - but yes I'm sure that's the case - I've always liked a good book - like to escape with a bit of Science Fantasy myself - Tolkein fits the bill but Lord Foul's Bane aaah that WAS a good'un

Aaaah, Thomas Covenant. His adventures were so awesome. It took me completely into his world. I read all 6 books but I grew out of it when the 3rd Trilogy was issued and never got to read them.

I am not worthy - first person I've "met" thats heard of 'em - got a bit silly on the Giant's ship but White Gold Weilder - what a climax - I still walk by the river in the early summer and wonder if the Green sun had pushed all that foliage up in a space of a few hours from barren scrubby winter terrain, what a scary thing it would be...you can never grow out of that sort of thing (well a chap can't...) - always had the hots for the girlie in the stone city, but that's another story

I'm looking on ebay, hoping to get all 3 trilogy sets but they're quite expensive. If I could get hold of them, I would lose myself in them all over again. I spose the library would have them!

The silly thing about the library is the etched glass on the front........it reads "Lewse". No doubt the council spent loads of tax-payers money to some nincompoop to come up with the idea (then again, probably not such a nincompoop, probably rolling in it)
