NO SHUSHING ALLOWED!

Friday Afternoon in the Library, originally uploaded by gwENvision.

Yes it makes me happy to see people relaxing, smiling and laughing in the library. As I librarian I love it that they feel confortable just hanging out here.

Yep, most librarians aren't the Librarian from the Black Lagoon. They actually like their patrons. They want their patrons to like to come to the library. I personally like to create an atmosphere that is conducive to an open relaxed environment where people like to hang out.

I think maybe I need to add some comfortable chairs.
