Getting home today, I was on fire!
I thought..... I am going to post on the blog regarding the library. To my surprise, there is already a thread going.
I was unable to get any work done at the library today. I think the library is now Blockbuster, the mall, and worse than that......the local pub and grub.
"What is going on? People should be able to go to the library to find peace and quiet to accomplish something. Isn't this susposed to be the culture and climate of the library ......." a/This was not the case anymore. When I questioned the staff, they all expressed their frustration with the situation of noise, children running all over, people on the cell phones, and loud ipods. I asked a few more questions...Why do you not ask them to leave a/ the library would be empty, Where are the signs that say QUIET PLEASE to reiforce the expectations and support the staff a/ they would not do any good, Why do you not ask them to be quiet a/ we are afraid of loosing our jobs. I agree that the Library is a great place for the community and Waukegan is a great community. There needs to be a place in the library that is quiet.... I mean Ghostbuster quiet! I also asked how big is Richard Lee's office a/ a comfortable size. Idea.... Mr. Lee clean out your office and go work downstairs in the chaos. I would like to have a place that is quiet, your office will do.
