Library Etiquette

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm a regular patron of my local library up here. This library, however, is like the local pub. People come in and talk loudly between themselves, will sit around and talk on cell phones, and bring in the most rowdy children you can imagine. I always thought the library as a place of peace and quiet....not here. As I speak, there's a lady two computers down from me talking on a cell phone in a very loud voice about family business. Save it for the home, lady!

Leave your Cell phone phone in the car if you go to the Library. I love Libraries.

My experiences at the Wise library have been pretty good, and that's probably because of how under-used it is...

People can't use it if they can't read....folks think the one in BSG is a "free video rental store"..lol

I had to use the BSG Library once a couple months ago because the one at the college was closed. I wont be going back anytime soon, kids just run around screaming with nothing said. Plus, I really don't have much respect for a library that doesn't have a copy of the Leviathan.

Same here in Clintwood I bet there is a 5-1 Video to book checkout ratio

PVFAN if go towards closing time its much easier.

There is a horrible lack of selection, i cant tell you how many times ive went down there looking for a specific book only to not find it

I was told I could get a copy of the Leviathan in a week........ It's only one of the most important pieces of literature in the history of man. I'm probably selfish but I was doing research for a project and was limited to one hour on a computer while looking at Miley Cyrus gets the same amount of time. Granted, that should be allowed but you would think they would have laptops or something for checkout so you could go somewhere quiet in the library and do actual work.
