We are excited to announce the implementation of new noise zones in our library, designed to cater to the diverse needs of our patrons. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to the study spaces they need, whether they require complete silence or a more flexible environment.
Levels 1 and 2: Considerate Zones
Levels 1 and 2 are designated as Considerate Zones, where a moderate level of noise is acceptable. Here are the guidelines for these areas:
- Minimal conversation
- Minimal cell phone use
- Virtual meetings with headphones
Level 3: Quiet Zone
The Quiet Zone on Level 3 is dedicated to those who need a serene and distraction-free environment. Here are the expectations for this zone:
- Only essential conversation
- No group conversations
- No virtual meetings
- No cell phone use
We believe these new noise zones will help us better meet the needs of all our patrons, providing the right environment for studying, working, and collaborating. Your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines is greatly appreciated and will help us maintain a library space that is welcoming and conducive to all. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please reach out to us at mclcirc@dm.duke.edu.
Happy studying!
