I immediately wrote to her (it was in the days before the internet) saying how stupid and damaging to our civilization such a thoughtless use of a national newspaper column must be. Needless to say, no reply. Anne Robinson cannot, therefore, be trusted when dealing with public libraries. Like all celebrity journalists she only really wants publicity for herself and does not care about public services.
