The Word

Welcome to the Word This Season's events feature a major exhibition Bridgetown to Brighton during February and March which features an installation with related art works, and a scale-model of a chattel house in the front window area of the Jubilee library. We also have a film screening of Ghosts on 28 February and the launch of Salt and Vinegar, a life writing anthology from Brighton Unemployed Centre Families Project on 6 March, World Book Day.

Jubilee Library

This innovative, modern library is one of the most energy efficient public buildings in the country. It is designed to take advantage of the natural energy provided by sunshine and wind and even has toilets that are flushed with recovered rainwater!

Arranged over three floors, the building allows all the library stock to be brought together for the first time including adult fiction, information and reference, audio visual material, rare books and special collections. The library also features a young people’s area, children’s library, sound and vision section, conference suite, computer suite and an exhibition space – making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Brighton's new Jubilee Library is a £14 million landmark building and will be the focus of a new city square. It is part of an ambitious regeneration transforming a major site, which has been largely derelict for half a century, into a vibrant space for contemporary urban living.
