Annoyed with private tutoring in public libraries

Just visited my local library - both adult and junior. They are both rather small and cramped.

In the adult library the section I wanted to look at was completely blocked off as a tutor and her tutees were plonked in front of it. I saw two other tutors with tutees in there as well.

In the junior library it was even worse. Both sets of tables and chairs were in use by a tutor and tutees. We we unable to look at the books we wanted to.

I did mention it to the staff and they said it concerned them but they weren't sure what to do about it, although the council's by-laws do ban commercial activities/businesses from running in the library.

Surely they can find somewhere else - failing all else there are plenty of coffee shops around and probably quieter.

Best thing to do is ignore the troll. It's half term isn't it.

Seems to me that those even slightly opposing the OP"s POV are being targeted by this VENGEY person via inbox messages...very strange coincidence! Pathetic that people feel they have to retaliate if someone differs with them...just pathetic!

C'mon VENGEY - tell us who you really are!

Really? That's OK then.
My library has little dalek machines that beep out your books now, not even humans. They demand money from me frequently.

No. Unless they get the strap on dalek ray gun?

Well, then, BeerTricks, that would mean that the 'footfall' from the tutor's pupils were actually beneficial to the usage stats - that's great! Glad to hear that, as the OP stated that the pupils brought into the library offered no value to the stats...and that certainly didn't sound correct...

What are 'the Issues"?

SuePurblybilt · 01/11/2012 15:58

The taking out of bookses, I imagine. Are they Issued to one, Beer?
