Archives"all library employees are..."
in reply to a message by Nanaea
except in southern US small-town libraries, where all employees seem to be hog-callers. I've never seen a louder group of people anywhere, notwithstanding that there's supposed to be some degree of "quiet" in a library setting.
I've gone so far as to politely request the (apparent) senior staff person present whether those on duty might turn the homey gossip (with each local walking in) down a few decibels. I never got much beyond a muttered apology and absolutely no change in Wanda and Lurleen's caterwauling with the patrons and their screaming spawn.

Linda, Barb and Mary Anne are pretty good at homey chit-chat with the locals too....
But we try to keep the noise down to a dull rumble.

You're still clinging to the past. The days of peaceful perusal in public libraries are long gone. That went the same route as the card catalog, Daividh.
