Thanks for your post Chris, I agree with Luke that is seems like quiet and non-quiet sections are best. I would also argue that the Young Adults section shouldn’t be next to the kids section, especially if there are teenagers coming to the library to do homework. When I used to study at the Indooroopilly Library after high school, I always had to wear headphones to block out the noise of kids being kids. I think that often the YA gets put next to the children’s section, but I wonder whether that really after a careful analysis of the YA needs?
