The library staff no longer shush people: they can chat, laugh, talk on the phone, even eat noisily if they want!
And yes, that sentence remains deliberately ambiguous!
This morning I was training a couple of members of staff to use our new shelf scanners (and admittedly I do have a rather booming voice) when I got shushed by a member of the public who was trying to revise!
No, we don't provide any quiet areas for study any more.
Still, I don't think I am the first member of library staff to be accused of being noisy.
