I WAS amused and then slightly depressed by the quote ‘libraries are for everyone’ from the council’s library chief in Monday’s Press.
The original letter writer had politely worried that based on the evidence of the Explore Centre at Acomb library, the re-opened Central Library might also end up dumbed down and full of crying infants.
Well, it sounds like a cert to me, given the chief boasting of building a new democratic café from public funds. There are already plenty of cafés in town, but very few places for those who want to study, read, browse, etc, in peace.
