<P> (Rosemary Martin: 1973), a librarian at the same library, and who was engaged in an affair with Mr Wainwright which they mistakenly believed was secret . The characters were never really felt to catch on, and disappeared as the library was written out as a favourite haunt of the main trio . However, a few years later, the storyline was resurrected and occasionally used for Howard and Marina . The library was also brought back for Foggy to get thrown out of all the time . She has twelve - year - old son, as of Short Back and Palais Glide . </P> <P> (June Watson, 1975) One of the librarians who briefly replaced Wainwright and Partridge during the second series . Miss Probert is a radical "feminist", who is always railing against men to the more timid Miss Jones . Miss Probert has two missions in life; one is discouraging the lending out of books she considers "filthy"; the other is making a misandrist out of Miss Jones, in whom she seems to take a more than professional interest . Her disappearance from the series is unexplained, and it is presumed she went back to wherever she worked before . </P> <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>
