to be honest brian i think lewisham had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen as the layout at foresthill is almost the same as the library at downham,
if you have ever been to downham libaray you will know it suffers from the same sort of problems as forest hill now does.

To put games, food and drink machines in to a libaray will only have one ture out come and that is your allowed to eat and drink, trying to ban some foods and allow others will simply not work.

I think its our age thats the problem, we are use to a quite place to sit and read, a past time long since gone with the internet , cable tv, and games machines, we might not like it hell i don't but its what the young people want,
it seems to work or they would not even bother going in to the libaray.
