The “kids should be quiet in the library” debate seems quite polarising. I can see how people who have traditional views of what a library should be would be very unhappy about the noise levels and I can understand this. But I think it’s also really important to get kids interested in the library from a young age and kids are going to be noisy. I can’t think of a way to make kids quiet so that’s why I reckon having separate sections is the best solution.
