        University libraries have different floors for silent zones and not. A similar concept can often be used for the mid-sized libraries too

        Lots of them already do. I live in a small town and my library has 2 conference rooms and a room where book readings take place. Loud activities happening throughout the day not interrupting people in the quiet areas.

            Yeah there are massively better options and every time I’ve seen a similar conversation happen and a librarian shows up they have a million good reasons why libraries shouldn’t be social hubs. I just thought I’d be a bit cheeky.
