Fiono the librarian puppet.  :zoinks:

Working in a library would be very a very peaceful environment.

Then a screaming child comes in and ruins everything :(

Whats everyones opinions on libraries?

Went there today, and the calmness was amazing, usually I buy books but from now on I think i'm just going to go there. I haven't been to the one in this city before.

For those who use libraries, what kind of books do you enjoy, and do you prefer to take them home or read them in the Library?

You can usually find me in the fucking library as a matter of fact. Total bookworm.

They will always see that in my eyes.
I am the passion; I am the warfare.
I will never stop...
always constant, accurate, and intense."

Libraries used to be the best places on earth. Surrounded by books, and sunlight and quiet. Then librarians stopped shushing people for being loud. And they brought in computers. And now people WON'T SHUT UP. Even in college libraries. During FINALS.

I think I should become a Library Nazi.  :hitler: "YOU! On the cellphone! NO DVDs for you!"  >:D

Yep just pretend to work there and start shushing everyone  :thumbup: Usually you can find a quiet spot though, depending on how big it is. But it may not have sqishy sofas :(

I go to the UNF library almost every day.  It is one of my favorite spots to do schoolwork.  I do not usually visit the regular public libraries though.
:P   Internets are super serious.

I love going to libraries, but I don't often like the librarians, just the way that they seem to get really annoyed when I ask where something is and I then ask them to be more specific than just "in that room over there".

The privately owned ones aren't so bad although they sometimes charge late fees.  It's the public libraries with volunteer staff that get annoying, they get annoyed by me not knowing where a certain section is (as I said above), they have ridiculous outdated policies regarding the computers (anything you save has to be on a floppy disk you bought from them, you have to sign in with your full name and social security card and even write down every site you plan to visit, they have signs all over the place urging everyone to be careful with who they give their "electronic mail" addresses to, as well as to stay away from "extremely dangerous" sites like MySpace).
Autism Speaks would like to remind you that you don't exist, because there are no Autistic adults and autistic children are too braindead to be able to use a computer.

Our delight at seeing others employ the "royal we" knows no bounds.  :green:

I'm fairly certain that the last time I was in a library and tried to login to Intensity, the library's web browser blocked access. The Dragon was not amused by this. Aside from that small quibble, I find libraries to be nice, mellow places to hang out in.

I used to study in one, too. Really quiet and nice.

The library at uni has an awesome science fiction book section. Don't know why, but it is there and I enjoy it very much. :)
