EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1960s, showcases the Eastbourne Library in Eastbourne, Sussex, England - a truly modern and integrated library that defied the traditional conventions of its time. The Reference Library, once a separate entity with restricted access, is now seamlessly integrated with the rest of the books, breaking down barriers and encouraging a more inclusive and accessible learning environment. The image captures a moment in history when the library world was on the cusp of transformation. The library staff, dressed in formal attire, are seen busily tending to their duties amidst the labyrinth of shelves filled with books. The older men, engrossed in their reading, add to the ambiance of knowledge and wisdom that pervades the space. The floor plan of the library is a testament to the innovative design of the era. The communications and lighting systems are evident in the overhead wires and the soft glow emanating from the ceiling. The library's modernity is further emphasized by the use of open shelves, allowing for easy access to information and fostering a sense of community. This photograph serves as a reminder of the evolution of libraries from being repositories of knowledge to becoming dynamic spaces that cater to the needs of the community. The Eastbourne Library, with its forward-thinking approach, remains a beacon of progress and a symbol of the rich literary heritage of Britain.
