In carrying out its mission to provide a place of study for students, the library will once again become a Quiet Area in all zones. The Group Zone will be limited to no more than 4 seats/people per table. Students whose voices rise above a reasonable level will be asked to go over to the cafeteria area where louder voices may be permitted. The Quiet Zone will allow one-to-two people to work together quietly, while the Silent Zone will remain absolutely quiet.
