"all library employees are..."
except in southern US small-town libraries, where all employees seem to be hog-callers. I've never seen a louder group of people anywhere, notwithstanding that there's supposed to be some degree of "quiet" in a library setting.I've gone so far as to politely request the (apparent) senior staff person present whether those on duty might turn the homey gossip (with each local walking in) down a few decibels. I never got much beyond a muttered apology and absolutely no change in Wanda and Lurleen's caterwauling with the patrons and their screaming spawn.
