This is just a friendly reminder to all guests of the Public Library. This facility is primarily a center for learning, and although it is also acceptable to relax on the couches or use the computers, the city council… I can’t believe we have to expressly state this… seeks to emphasize that it is not a space for any sexual activities.
Since the beginning of summer, there have been a surprising number of violations of this unspoken rule. Public safety was called in to the bathrooms on the first floor to break up a young couple getting it on. A volunteer on duty was made very uncomfortable upon discovering some hand-to-hand action in the elevator. The conference rooms on the fifth floor were not being used for conferences, unless you count genetalia conferences. The librarian was shocked to find a steamy scene unfolding on the extreme quiet floor, although admits she was impressed that they were so quiet about it. The tipping point was when a couple got so caught up in the moment that they did their business on top of a knocked over pile of periodicals and a book of haiku's.
Keep in mind that the library is a privilege, not a right. The library staff encourages you to keep everything in your pants except for a healthy love of reading.
