Please Be Selfish!

A dialog on Kan-LibL asked how to remind patrons not to speak loudly on their cell phones in the library. Hollis Helmeci at the Bradford Memorial Library in El Dorado, Ks. shared the sign they use. It's wonderful! She has given me permission to share it here:


Please be selfish.
Keep your business to yourself.

Use headphones to listen to your music.

Take your phone calls outside.

Speak quietly to keep your conversation private.

Please!
Don’t share your noise with others.

Thanks.
