I don't want to offend anyone but it looks
like a nine year old made that sign -- a nine
year old who does not like teens.

I might not want to ask these librarians for
any help -- although they tell me TWICE that
I can!

Bonus points for use of two color markers and
stars. Seriously, if you are going to be
nasty and unapproachable, you could at least
type and print it out.

I like the stenciling. Has that
"stalag" zeitgeist that so pulls in
teens and ensures they grow up to fund
library services.

Looks like a good place for graffiti.

Is it just me or does "visiting"
really imply that you're a guest in someone
else's space?

It reads like the teens should ask the
librarians if they need help getting rid of
their cell phones! It's funny and sad all at
once.

Very sad. If this was my library, I'd be
horrified!

If this was my library, this sign would be
ripped into bits.

I was a Sub in a building where the staff had
this sort of attitude toward teens. It was
horrible experience, eventually the Manager
moved on and things improved somewhat.

"Feed the librarians, so they don't eat
the kids!"
I think that's a Patrick Jones quote.
Anyway, here's the thing- the person who made
that sign probably thought it was helpful.
Argh.

It could be worse. It could say 'While your
visiting...' Though not that much worse, I'll
agree.

As if the UPPERCASE and exclamation point
wasn't enough they had to add TWO underlines
to NO CELL PHONES!

I was once a teen who spent hours and hours
reading in the library. One day when I was
15 a friend told me I should apply for a page
job with her at that library. So I did. At
the interview I was asked why I wanted the
job. I was uncharacteristically brash and
said "I spend all my time here anyway,
so I may as well get paid for it."
The hiring librarian had a sense of humour
and hired me on the spot. Thus a librarian
was born....
We have to make these spaces welcoming,
don't we? We're all in it together. And
those "teens" could one day be in
control of funding and salaries for that
library for all they know!
