HAVING already complained in Blackburn library about the 'Dewey' Decimal Classification System having been 'dumbed down,' I was amused to overhear the following, outside the library.

First lady: "What do you think of the new library?"

Second lady: "Oh, it's very nice, like a five-star hotel, but I can't find any of the books I want. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

My sentiments entirely.

CAROL ISHERWOOD, Woodburn Close, Blackburn.
