SIR – As the existing Central Library building is now apparently a fire hazard and could be closed, it prompted me to think of an alternative city centre location.

How about utilising the large empty former TJ Hughes/Sunwin House building as a new Central Library?

It would keep the building in use instead of allowing it to fall into disrepair like the old Odeon building, and would keep the Central Library in the city should it not be economic to bring the existing building up to standard.
