El common sense it should always reign in libraries. However, this common sense, in many cases, is broken giving rise to annoyances and noises that make concentration difficult. A library is a collective good, therefore, each user can contribute to the creation of a pleasant climate. What are the common sense rules that we can put into practice in the library?
Rules to maintain order
1. Silence the mobile while you're there. And if you are waiting for a call, pick up your mobile and go outside to talk so as not to interrupt others.
2. Books have a return period That should be respected because it may happen that another user is wanting to read that book. Meeting the deadlines for the return of books improves the management of the bibliographic collection. Also, if you want to renew the work again, you can do it. You can also use the bibliographic material in consultation in the same library and put it back on the corresponding shelf when you have finished.
3. Take care of the library furniture (chairs and desks) with the same interest that you take care of the furniture in your own home.
4. Silence is a basic rule in a library. Although absolute silence is a difficult ideal to achieve, it is advisable to have this expectation and have attitudes that encourage it. Obviously, the rules are different in the adult area than in the children's area, since for a three-year-old child, the library is a space for play and discovery.
5. The librarian is an authority staff in the library. Therefore, it is important to heed their instructions. For example, in some cases you may remind yourself of the importance of keeping quiet.
6. The library has a closing time. So before the time is right, collect your things.
Enjoy libraries as cultural settings. And take care of these environments as a treasure of learning.
