The Library Committee has approved an amendment to the rule that mobile phones should be switched off before entering the library.
The rule now reads:
“Readers may bring a mobile telephone into the library provided it is set to silent mode. However, mobile telephone conversations are NOT permitted. To prevent disturbance to other readers, calls must be answered outside of the library. Readers should not run to the library exit or speak on the telephone until they are outside. Text messaging is allowed.”
Library staff will be monitoring this amendment to the rule closely and may request that the Library Committee reviews it if they find that it has caused more disturbance to readers than before.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us to keep the library a desirable place to work in.
