Chief Librarian Ed Jewell said: “The Town Library is a very special place within Jersey’s community, free to all, where visitors of any age can explore the past, prepare for the future and make sense out of today.
“In the lead-up to the silver anniversary, the Jersey Library team wants to celebrate reading in all its many forms and to discover the most inventive and obscure places people read.”
