<P> (Janet Davies:, 1975) The other librarian who replaced Mr. Wainwright and Mrs. Partridge in the second series . Miss Jones is a quiet, timid female who is overshadowed by Miss Probert . She previously worked in a children's library, which she frequently says she wants to return to . She has a pair of pink fly - away glasses that are on a chain around her neck . She doesn't like working at the Holmfirth library, because of the four - letter words . She always does what Miss Probert asks her, always without question or protest . Like Miss Probert, her disappearance is unexplained, and it is believed she returned to the children's library . This is most likely due to the remark she made to Miss Probert about wanting to go back where "Puss in Boots means just that and not like that awful magazine". </P> <P> (Kate Brown, 1976) The librarian who replaced Mrs. Partridge on Mr. Wainwright's return . She only appeared in two episodes, and it is shown she shares Mr. Wainwrights dreams about revolution . She is the first woman to suffer the sight of Compo's matchbox . Although middle - aged, she is attractive and she and Mr. Wainwright are believed to one of the original structures for Howard and Marina . </P> <P> (Josephine Tewson, 2003--2010) After many years of the library setting seldom being used, Miss Davenport was introduced as the new librarian in 2003 . A very emotional woman haunted by a string of past rejections, she first appeared as a guest, driving Gavin Hinchcliff around while he skied on the van roof . Originally, Glenda took up the cause of socializing her and tried to fit her in with the coffee - drinker circle of Nora, Ivy, Pearl, and co . They did not take too well to each other; in more recent episodes, she's bonded with Marina instead, with the pair of them both longing for love in their individual ways . In the episode: "In Which Howard Remembers Where He Left His Bicycle Pump", it is revealed that Miss Davenport's first name is "Lucinda". </P> <P> (1987--2002) An extremely long - sighted bumbler, Eli maintained a highly cheerful, friendly attitude despite not having a clue what was going on around him .

He was occasionally seen on a bicycle . </P>
