Quiet in the library?

Recently I have been coming to the upper level of the library to study and nearly every time have had to move because people feel it is okay to hold an extended conversation (loud, not in whispers). Today, some students were talking outside the printing station on the upper level and their conversation echoed down through the carrels in the quiet area. Is this okay, or is there some way to emphasize the need to be quiet in the library and take conversations to the lobby or outside? Thanks very much!

Being Quiet

Please keep cruising in the library at a minimum and please stop carrying on 10 min conversation w/ your friends nearby… “Psst!” I can hear your whispering and it’s ANNOYING/DISTURBING than actually talking regular volume. Go somewhere else!

Please be Quiet!

When I come to the library, it’s to get something done. If you want to have fun/eat cookies/party, etc., kindly do so elsewhere so I can read/study. Also the computer alcoves are not sound proofed- so keep it down pple!
