The library itself is warm and welcoming, the staff is attentive. However, there are kids EVERYWHERE and apparently the idea that libraries are quiet, tranquil spaces is a dead one here. It was CRAZY noisy and the staff didn't seem to even notice. I don't know how anybody could come here to read or study, it was basically a playground. I much prefer the Downtown or West End locations, where people know how to act in a library. I have no problem with children at all and I realize not every family can afford a computer so of course the kids are attracted to libraries these days. But whatever happened to kids being taught that there is a time and a place for loud and rambunctious behaviour? I'll be sticking to the locations where I can hear myself think.
