Noise

Nowadays not only is it acceptable to talk in a library, but I just witnessed someone shouting down the stairs to someone else. I have been told that a friend of a friend who works in a library says that she was told that she shouldn't challenge anyone for talking. It's typical of the poor values that have infested this country. You mustn't criticise anything for fear of upsetting someone. We have it the wrong way round. We should be compelling these people to accept proper values and standards of behaviour.
