IN RESPONSE to CS Jeffrey’s letter about the central library (Letters, April 8), I would like to agree and implore people like CS Jeffrey to stay well away.

There is nothing more irksome than having to put up with dull, humourless people who shuffle and tut their way around the shelves, especially when trying to enjoy a rip-roaring read with one’s small children.
