    We aren’t talking pumping music…

    YOU may not be but I guarantee that within the first 60 minutes at least three people are going to try and do just that.

      If it’s against the rules, they’ll be kicked out, like it happens already… and if they allow the music, well you are free to choose another library that fits your specific needs. Just like the ones using the louder library since it’s already for them.

        Since I’m a Technical Consultant for my local library I can honestly say I was in one just last week. In fact I’m logged into their system right now making some adjustments to their public access computers. I know what patrons are doing when they think no one is looking and I know exactly what would happen if Libraries were open late so people could lounge around.

        Many libararies are already employing Security Staff to keep things under control during regular hours and there is no reason to think that it get any better ‘after dark’ so to speak.

          So you work offsite, rarely visit, and are making sweeping judgements on how patrons you don’t even see or interact with would be behaving in a hypothetical scenario?

          Lol.

            the part where logging in to a computer remotely is apparently as good as visiting a place in person fucking sent me. this is what being online 24/7 does to a person.

              Reviewing the actual logs which collect data over long periods is more reliable.

              Btw where the fuck did they say that they never visited the place? For all we know they have worked for the library onsite for months or even years.

              this is what being online 24/7 does to a person.

              Yeah, I know what you mean…

        Please. People regularly ignore that social convention in public spaces like Mass Transit and Parks. Why do you think libraries would be any different?

          “Speakers not allowed. Anyone using them will be expelled and banned from entering again” (or something like that)
