Noise

Dear Chris & Sajeev,

While investigating, I found out that the library staff generally give out 2 warnings before they ask noise-makers to leave the library and noisy people are actually asked to leave pretty much every day! Not everyone gets 2 warnings though -- someone who is super loud and won’t listen to a warning is asked to exit the library right away. Conversation in group study rooms is allowed, as long as it’s at a reasonable volume, but no conversation is allowed in the silent study room. Did you know that the library has a ‘report noise’ link on their website under “Quick Links”? I know, when I found that out, it blew my hedgehog mind too! It’s completely anonymous. So, if someone is noisy, put in a report, and the library staff will attend to it asap! Hopefully this will help them keep the noise down in the library!

Yours truly,

Scarby H. Hedgehog

Dear Searching, You've asked the right hedgehog! I personally like to burrow in the silent study room on the upper floor. I feel like it is the easiest place to hide out and it's nice and quiet. On a day when I don't mind some noise, and am not looking for absolute silence, I snuggle into couches in the reading room at the entrance of the library. It's also right near the course reserves and I can run in to snatch up a charging cable. One other super comfortable place is the new 'nook' area past the stairs. Again it has those comfy chairs where I can hang out, but what sets it apart are the stationary reading bicycles. Like, who even invented those? You can quietly work your muscles and your brain at the same time. If I'm with my study buddies, I book a group study room. It really depends on how you like to study.

Yours truly,
