The Library is a Noisy Place!

Correction ~ The Graham, Texas library is a noisy place!

When, I wonder, did people start having loud conversations, letting their children run, scream & howl in the library?
More specifically, the Graham, Texas Library.

Having gone to many libraries, I have never encountered this level of noise in those. Even Barnes & Noble is more silent.

When the children aren't screaming, crying, howling, running & playing in this library, the people over the age of 10 are just as loud.
Oh, don't you dare talk on your cell phone, too loud! Better use headphones if you want to listen to something online! It might drown out the loud conversations the staff are having. They might not be able to hear each other over your noise!

You only get 2 hours, per day, NO EXCEPTIONS! So, ya better make it as best you can. No emergency is dire, no exceptions made. PERIOD!

When did this library become such a noisy place?

When did adults, patrons as well as staff, begin to believe that talking with their "outside voice" was okay in this library?

If you have an emergency & need to print anything, if you have used up your allotted 2 hours, forget it! 
The Graham library manager is a rigid, no exceptions, EVER, type of manager. Seems to believe in absolute rule!

If you have loud children, if you enjoy talking loudly & your kids are cranky & loud? You will fit right in at the Graham, Texas library. 

Just keep your cell phone & your computer speakers QUIET!!! If you don't, you'll be asked to keep it quiet or leave. It's a shame that the patrons who come to this library can't enforce the same standard upon the library manager & staff.
