Library gathers regional award and bids for UK title

North Devon Journal

May 01, 2025

BRAUNTON Library has been crowned South West England’s Library of the Year in The British Book Awards 2025.

The community-focused library will compete for the national title in May at the prestigious ceremony in London.

It triumphed over three other regional finalists - two of which, Bideford and Exeter, are also based in Devon and run by the charity Libraries Unlimited, which oversees the public libraries in Devon and Torbay. The awards, run by The Bookseller magazine and nicknamed 'The Nibbies,' recognise excellence across the literary world, from authors to those helping bring books to readers.
