(Mar 5/08) PLEASE do something about the noise level in this library. The quiet study areas on the first floor are an absolute joke - the noise from outside ruins any chance of getting any work done. The library essentially serves as a secondary cafeteria. Why arent there staff members enforcing noise control on all levels of the library?? Both the U of T and York University library provide this courtesy to their students.
Library response: Thank you for taking the time to comment on noise in Mills. We agree that noise is a significant issue - especially as we enter into the exam period. As noted in previous responses, the sheer volume of students entering the library each day makes noise control very challenging. Staff do patrol the public areas and will ask uncooperative users to leave the building. The Library is working hard to create additional study spaces (with a mix of group and individual environments) . (Mar 14/08)
