    let’s make the place where everybody wants you to shut the fuck up the hub of social interaction

      You know we can have more than one place for reading right? Not everyone needs to read in a quiet place and would like more options.

          University libraries have different floors for silent zones and not. A similar concept can often be used for the mid-sized libraries too

          Lots of them already do. I live in a small town and my library has 2 conference rooms and a room where book readings take place. Loud activities happening throughout the day not interrupting people in the quiet areas.

            Eh fair. Still to me this is just a weird idea. It’s like the top comment suggested it looks like OP is trying to think of a coffee shop. That’s a good place to be social if you don’t want to go to clubs and shit like that.

              Yeah there are massively better options and every time I’ve seen a similar conversation happen and a librarian shows up they have a million good reasons why libraries shouldn’t be social hubs. I just thought I’d be a bit cheeky.
