It is very difficult for me to tell someone to stop talking in the library, however, with that being said, the two girls across from me drove me crazy today, so like most others I just moved instead of speaking up because I do not want to hurt another's feelings, but please post a HUGE sign somewhere saying "whisper", no talking, QUIET please or anything.
Response:
I regret you had the experience of finding it too loud in the library. The 3rd floor of Blagg Huey is designated as a quiet study area. New “Shhhh!” signs were recently installed to remind library users to respect students’ need for quiet study space. We also have private study rooms on the third floor. The study rooms are available by reservation on a first-come first-served basis. Library staff member make periodic walkthroughs to enforce the quiet and will respond promptly to requests for enforcement from users.
If you ever have difficulty again, please ask a staff member to help you.
