Letter :“Sir,
It’s not surprising that crime novels are the most borrowed books in Australian
libraries (‘The Age’, July 24) when that’s about all that’s on offer. Last week
I visited our local library to find aisles of fiction and glossy magazines and
just one small aisle of non-fiction. Our public libraries have been stripped of
books that inform, enlighten, and broaden our minds. What happened to the
library’s purpose of showing us the world? Is it any wonder Australians have so
little knowledge of their own history and culture when all they’re being given
is trash crime? Philip Harvey.”
