The New Canaan library staff are very lovely. I have been there several times by now. Never have I ever experienced what other people are saying in other reviews. No one was but friendly and caring to me there. New Canaan library is an amazing place to be at! However, the constant noise is what I'm concerned the most. I tried taking a practice SAT test at the library, but I couldn't complete it. Kids and adults would carelessly talk either on the phone or with other people. Although I was supposed to be in a quiet area, I could hear every single noise around.
You must understand that the SAT is a timed exam, meaning that I really need to concentrate on what I'm reading, and on each question. If people are talking, or doing whatever that could be distracting, it's gonna be way much harder for me to perform well on this practice test -- let alone complete the questions in the time I'm supposed to. Yes, the library do offer a 90 minutes quiet room. However, I'm taking a 3 hours test. 90 minutes is not enough for me.
Something should be done about this. I can't stand noises when it comes to studying, reading, or taking a 3 hours practice test.
This is the only negative side about New Canaan Library; it is really disappointing because you expect the library to be a quiet place, not otherwise.
People won't stop talking, kids would run around, phones would be ringing! What's the point of quiet areas if people around are gonna be talking anyway? Not that I could politely ask them to be quiet either. If I stood for every person that talks at the library, first I would have to re-read whatever I was reading in order to properly respond the question I was on, and second I would have to squad a lot.
This place is amazing, but for the fact that everyone is loud.
