		In January the new Lewes library was reinstated in the County Council's capital programme, largely, it is thought, because of the level of support for the vigorous campaign waged by the Lewes Library Friends.

		The Lewes Library Friends have expressed their deep gratitude to the Society for its support and particularly to David Tufnell for his hard work and enthusiasm in administering the funds collected.
