Comment: It seems that it’s always loud in the library and it would be nice if someone would try and keep the noise level down.
Thank you.

Comment: It would be nice if someone could ask people to be quiet or keep the chatting down… especially around the couches. I know many people that find it difficult to study in here because of the noise and have actually seen people leave in frustration because of it.
Thank you!
Thank you for your comments. Our library strives to be a welcoming place for our patrons with a broad range of needs. Some people prefer to work alone in a quiet place, whereas others prefer a group work environment. That is the reason we provide a variety of work spaces ranging from quiet study rooms and our silent study room to computer work stations that can accommodate more than one person to our couch area where users can be more social. It is our hope that by providing variety of work spaces we are able to satisfy the work/study needs of our patrons.
When we notice (or is brought to our attention) that a patron is being unusually noisy, we approach the patron and ask them to be considerate of others working in the library. Most patrons are very cooperative. Also, please stop by our Ask Us! Desk and we can direct you to our quiet study areas.
