I am on the 4th floor trying to study. People have been up here talking
all night (talking on cellphones, talking at the computers) The signs
say "Quiet Please!" but the noise level reflects the commons.
Does anyone enforce the rules?

Walter Sampson, Assistant Librarian for Policy Development, replies..

I am sorry your studies were interrupted on the 4th floor, Cabell Library by disruptive patrons. First, if in the future, if you should have a similar incident immediately report the problem to the security staff located by the main entrance on the first floor. And, report it to Library staff at the circulation desk also located on the 1st floor.

VCU Libraries contracts for security personnel from the VCU Police. Security staff duties include enforcing Use of Library Building regulations and Quiet Guidelines, which you can read on our web site.

Again, it is unfortunate your studies were disrupted. Let me know if I can provide you additional information about VCU Libraries procedures that intend to promote an environment for students to conduct research and study.
