Cell phones are just a way of life anymore. We have had signs posted for years saying "use cell phones in designated area only." We designated our coffee bar area near the front door and many people actually go outside into our breezeway. It helps to have all those covered porches! Occasionally people talk on their phones at the computers-if they are not loud enough to disturb people, we don't do much. If they are loud, they get reminded to use the designated area. People occasionally go into the stacks to talk on their phones. Much more annoying and of course, out of the control of the patron is the phone ringing with one of those loud, long songs. Most people act embarrassed and quickly shut them down. We are not the quietest place anyway so this may just be a bit more tolerable for most of us.

I just had the second complaint in less than a month, and it is time to write it down. Thanks.
