Review of St. Cloud Public Library

The building is beautiful and the staff are helpful when you approach them. However, I am often frustrated by the lack of enforcement of library rules--at least, I assume not running, not being loud or disruptive, and not talking on your cell phone are rules there. It's terrible sometimes in the computer area on the 2nd floor. The librarian station is about half a block away, and staff intervene only when things get really bad. I think they are too far away to notice when people are being disruptive. A lot of kids (and adults, for that matter) don't seem to have gotten the memo on how to behave in a library. I apologize for such negative comments. I just wanted to bring to the attention of library staff how the behavior of some patrons often leads to a frustrating experience for others. Thank you.
