Most annoying types of library visitors

Post Reply New Topic

People who take their time leaving the computers once finished
and blame the next person for being rude, regardless if the next person
was being rude or not.

Did you know that you can check out digital copies of books from the library and read them on your computer? No Nook or Kindle required, and it's free:

I figure this will save a lot of you the headaches of actually going to the library. It has certainly helped me.

The ones that bring food into the library >:x They could damage the books or computers, and the ones that leave sticky fingerprints on the computer keys, luckily we also have a very strict library nearby, i want to practice going there, i'm already a member :o Sorry random information, i like the library and i just want to go there to read in a different enviroment and practice my social skills with being somewhere since i already walk, but that's walking and i never sit down, and its not inside with other people :o Oke i'll stop talking now :x

Homeless people who sit next to you at the computers
or are given free library cards just so they can use the bathrooms.

-Anyone who is loud AT ALL. Its a library, geeze.
-All the people who come just to use the internet, usually for stuff like facebook or flashgames etc. Go to an internet cafe, its so annoying when some kid has the volume turned up while he's playing a game on newgrounds.
-People who bring food and drinks.
-People going to the library like its a hangout/meeting place akin to the mall. If you want to meet some friends to go check out books that's cool..but that is of course never the case
-Parents using the library as a makeshift daycare.
Pretty much everyone who goes to the library anymore. ^

Libraries should require memberships or a one time fee if you are not enrolled in a school. That would fix the hobo problem. Its not unreasonable at all, you go register the years you are in school as a field trip, tour the library etc then once you're graduate you have to pay the entry fee or membership if you want to keep going, which wouldn't be terribly expensive. Annoying kids could at least be..somewhat responsible for their behavior this way and everyone who needs to do research for projects and essays doesn't "suffer". This would deter some of the annoying people, though not even close to everyone..or even half.
