I frequent the local library facilities and find there a general lack of talent. In an effort to improve not only my own library experience, but also the experience of my fellow library patrons, I offer these helpful tips on proper library etiquette.
Wear shoes
This should go without saying. And maybe because I live in the South, I’m more prone to some abnormal behavior. However, my recent experience has found that individuals who visit the library and have comfortable-shoes”>comfortable enough to take off their shoes Please note: The library is a public place, often visited by individuals from all walks of life. Please keep your shoes on.
Whisper
Again, this should go without saying. However, in today’s society we seem to have lost the ability to use our “between voices”. I think it would be common sense that the noise should be minimal, considering the immense amount of books in front of you, but if you are confused about what level of sound is appropriate, look around at those who are actually reading. Do they sound like anything? They lead after them.
No food
The last time I sat down, the library was not a restaurant, nor was it in a public park. This is not the place to consume food products, especially chips, crackers and hard candy. Now, if you want to sneak in a snack while you’re picking, while you’re studying calmly, be that, be a soft fruit; which you may ruminate in silence, without paying attention to my ears, when you sit 150 feet from me.
Turn OffCell Phone
The library is a refuge for those who seek silence and opportunity to read, conduct research and writing< /a>. If you want, or need, to talk to someone, take the conversation outside. Again, this is not a public force in which to conduct a two-way conversation.
Don’t Re-Sheve Books
Most libraries display this sign prominently placed in the library. On the shelf this clearly means that if you take a book off the shelf, don’t put it back on the shelf. That is “re-vexation”. Instead, find a central place, a table or desk, where you can put the book and allow the library staff to re-check the book for you. There is nothing more frustrating than looking at a bunch of books on pregnancy and then looking at the book. how to build warehouses Although, now that I think about it, I live in the south, maybe building warehouses and meeting the concept on library shelves?
Babysit Your Child
While the library is a great educational environment, it is not intended as a place for free babysitting services. Therefore, do not put your child in the library and get rid of them, especially when the child has not learned, or will not follow, the library proper talent. In the library, the staff here are dedicated to books and reference materials and, in most cases, are not trained in child development And daycare services. Having said this, if you accompany your child, bring them at a time when they are not sleepy and not hungry. Also take your child to the bathroom before entering the library. Nothing hurts more than hearing a child cry, “Mommy! I have to go pee!” that in this case, as with most of the patrons of the library, I begin to care about the cleanliness of the reading room.
As a mother with two children, I raised my children in the decent habit of visiting the library. While I don’t know if my children learned these skills in school, I certainly taught them appropriate behavior by my example. In recent experience, I have found many children, teenagers and even adults are simply ignorant, unaware, or not caring about their own behavior in local library< /a>. For this reason, I felt that my civic duty was to resign from this public office.
