Opening the Book gives Morpeth the kiss of life 

Morpeth - flood damage
Morpeth - before

After last September’s disastrous flooding in the North East, Morpeth library was under threat of demolition, having suffered more than £500,000 worth of damage.  However, after several months of construction work, Opening the Book moved in to refurbish the interior in record time with the library re-opening to the public in March.
