Library Rant

Ok here is a quick rant. Today at the library not good, students of Greenwich. Me thinks me needs to remind some students of library rules.

I know I was in the group study area and of course you are permitted to talk but - -BIG BUT there is no need to shout, why do people think that they need to talk LOUDLY. It is a library, whispering is cool and keeping your voices low is a really good idea! Indoor voices and yes I know we all speak differently but we all need to have some consideration for those around us. Nobody needs to or wants to hear your life story or your weekend shenanigans. This is exam time and we are under enough stress already. Keep your social life out of other people’s ears. Today felt like being in a marketplace.

Another thing: phone calls are allowed, fine with me but there are vibration options and failing that just put the ring tone volume down! Even in the silent area someone left their phone on loud and it just kept on ringing and ringing disturbing absolutely everyone. Not so cool.

Oh and one more thing there is something in life, a very great thing called courtesy and manners and it really does make life more pleasant so if you have your bag on the table and someone comes to sit at that place move your bag. NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. Your bag is not a book to be studied and we all need to make use of the space that we have so please everyone let’s just pull it together.

This does not reflect everyday at the library but today was so noisy I actually had to move. A little thought goes such a long way and makes everyone’s life so much more pleasant.
