Lemn Sissay OBE, University Chancellor and Festival of Libraries ambassador said: "A library is the loudest place on the high street, because books are bursting with very loud ideasI And yet it is where you can go for peace and quiet; amongst all that is happening in our world, peace and quiet has great value.
