West Suffolk County council has passed a bylaw making it an offence to go to sleep in their libraries. , The 'dozing reader will be liable to a fine of £5. ($15). The council takes its clue fromthe department of edu- Catiggy and' science, which has cir ted a model bylaw sug- gesting that "a person shall not, after a warning by a li- brary officer, persist in sleep- ing in the library." A Times report says '"'this savage legislation spoils the work of learned writers who have spent sleepless, painful vigils writing books to send their readers to sleep." And the newspaper com- ments, in an editorial, that it prefers the tolerant opinion of the Cambridge University li- brarian who said: "We like them better asleep, They do less damage to the books."
