Comments on: this big library called barnes & noble http://www.walkingpaper.org/554 A library design consultancy, shop and blog by Aaron Schmidt Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:25:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Andrew http://www.walkingpaper.org/554/comment-page-1#comment-25184 Andrew Fri, 01 May 2009 19:03:44 +0000 http://www.walkingpaper.org/554#comment-25184 Yes and what's really irritating is that young adults seem to think it's a library as well. I was on the phone with a relative asking advice about getting a gift and I got shooshed by another customer because she was trying to read. I responded by walking away and ignoring her. What irritates me is this woman doesn't seem to understand that Barnes and Noble is a BOOKSTORE and not a library where you BUY books rather than mooch off of them for free. Of course now my frustration is when I want quiet and I go to a library to study, idiot parents bring their brats in here and don't even bother to shoosh them.

She got this idea from visiting the real library a few days prior. Her mom couldn't really argue, because yes, it is a place where you get books, and movies, and music, and has a cafe area...
