Today is the 20th anniversary of the Norwich Central Library fire. Over 150,000 books were lost and library customers and staff spent many years using and working in temporary library set ups.
The library fire was a terrible event for the city, but it's a testament to the good folk of Norwich and Norfolk that we could turn such a tragedy around - here we are in 2014, we're now in the Forum and the Millennium Library has become the busiest public library in the country. Not bad for a small city in a little corner of England!
