Aren't libraries supposed to be quiet places?

My local one is in a sheltered housing complex and there's a birthday party (for Mary, apparently) going on about fifty feet from where I'm sitting.

    They should be but I guess the party is an exception to the rule....

    My Library is a feast of hustle and bustle filled to the brim with inquisitive people delving into the biggest tomes from the highest shelves.

    You cannot get to become a city of culture from nothing but hard work and endeavour.

    I supposed libraries are meant to be quiet but you can socialise.

    You could have joined Mary's party but I guess you're there for Yahoo Answers.

    Do you read books too?

    not anymore I guess!

    when I go to the library of my university I feel like I'm sitting in a cafeteria honestly.

    maybe you should hold a sign of " BE QUIET YOU ARE IN A LIBRARY" each time you go and show it to every person who doesn't know the rules of libraries!

    Yeah that is meant to be quiet! in the adventure that they pick you to be quiet, they must be too! Librarians have particularly lengthy previous downhill. i tried to donate an previous pc reveal screen to my community library in view that i particularly felt extraordinary about putting it contained in the dumpster. They refused it! extraordinary.

    Lol, mine is kind of noisy too. The staff tell you not to use mobile phones but then you hear theirs going off every 5 minutes.
