...and not social spaces for yammering, wittering and flirting?
The newly-refurbished Central Library in Manchester looks great, but the ground floor section (which now houses the local history stuff & a marvellous BFI Mediatheque) seems to have been over-run with people who can't keep quiet for more than a few seconds. Kids running amok and shrieking, studenty couples nuzzling one another, people loudly conversing - the general noise level is overwhelming. Fair enough, I don't expect a bloody Trappist monastery, but it would be nice to be able to read or watch something without constant background blare.
