    Jason – I enjoy the Columbia Pike branch and frequent the study room. Unfortunately, many days it is hard to work in the study room due to the loud talking of some of the patrons. I would like to suggest an end to all talking in the study room. If people need to work together then there should be rooms reserved for that. Otherwise, use some of the public areas which are better suited for talking. There should be atleast 1 area set aside where people can work in peace without the noise. I appreciate your consideration.

    I'm sorry it was noisy recently. We do have a group study room downstairs where people can talk and study together, and it's quite well used. We also have the semi-private walled off tables for tutors in the back of the study room, which accommodate a certain slightly higher noise level. I and the rest of the staff here also remind people to be quiet when they become too noisy. Unfortunately, libraries are noisier places than they were prior to technological advances of the recent decades, and even areas like the quiet study room at Central must be aggressively policed to control the noise level. We have discussed changing the room to a quiet room like Centrals, but various reasons have kept us from making the change. We're always ready to intervene if the noise level is excessive, however, if you can alert any staff person.Jason RodgersBranch Manager
