I wish libraries were still quiet… Around here it’s normal for them to let kids do kids stuff, like screaming and running around. Apparently it’s harmful and unwelcoming if there are rules, the kids won’t ever start reading books if they’re required to even try to be quiet while in that building.
Also my library hosts live band nights, music is art and all, and I wouldn’t really mind but as I don’t use social media I don’t really get info on when to avoid going there… Twice I have had to listen some lady whine through her nose while some bloke abuses an acoustic quitar while I’m just trying to get a few books from the self-service counter where a bunch of people are standing and listening without moving away even when asked politely, instead of doing that like a METRE TO LEFT THERE IS PLENTY OF SPACE. Sorry for the rant, but man I like the library and just want to exchange old books for new ones.
// Edited to rant a bit more but they literally even let the local crazy person (not me, I don’t have a dog anymore) bring their dirty and very untrained dog inside. It will yap and run around and jump on people… There just are no rules anymore. Free for all.
