A. The library is a busy and large facility (over 200 seats) in which we need to maintain an academic environment in which classes can conduct research and students can read, work individually and in small groups on academic projects. The four person to a table policy (also the policy in most area high school libraries) is a result of numerous student and staff complaints that the facility was too noisy and not conducive to academic work. We have tried to respond to student requests to relax this policy in the past but quickly had to reinstate it as the environment became too loud and unmanageable.
