which library is that!!?
I usually go pick up books at the cambie branch and never see this. usually only noise is at the kid's playing area. (crying.. sometimes but you can't avoid that)

I see these scenario quite often at Renfrew Library.
The parents won't control their kids when the kids play in the library.

People talk so loud as if they are in a meeting and the phone is not on vibrate, rigntone is super loud.

Teenagers play online game at the library in group (occupied all computers).
After reading books, people just left it on the desk and walk out.
Washroom is extremely dirty that people dunno where to pee (because it's all over the floor)

If it's not for the wireless internet or the magazines there, I won't go to Renfrew at all(which I hardly go anymore).

it's the same at ubc's koerner library
the so-called "silent study" area is never silent
there're always people chatting, phones are always ringing, and half the time people stay at their seats to tal ...

Same as SFU.  Although it's a common place for study (which allow general discussion) but I see Chinese students play youtube so loud in that areas or playing with the phone w/ different ring tones. (It's so embarrass that one of the guy from the group told the girl to stop it)
