addendum to library noise

[Billie Esser <billie66512@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello,

I've been getting many responses about my previous
posting reminding me that there are some students who
need the silence...I totally agree.  I may not have
represented myself well when discussing the music in
the library...it is not on a sound system, it comes
out of a little radio in my office.

I might also note that my office is next to the
magazine section of the library.  Students perusing
magazines are ususally doing so for leisure reading.

My library is large and it is possible to have the
music on in my office and not hear it on the other
side of the room.  I find that students who need/like
the noise sit at tables near my office or on the
couches near the magazines...those students who don't
want the noise go to the other side of the room...and
as always, I am up circulating the room to help
students with their needs.

Maybe not a system for every library, but it has made
a huge difference in the number of students coming in
and out of the library for materials.
