librarians

Does anyone ever understand why the librarians at school are so strict and grouchy? I'm not talking about all of them. Probably just two, no wait, one in particular. Just yesterday, she went on a rampage trying to keep the library free of noise and chatter. She roams around to each table, tries to shut them up, and goes on to the next. She claims that the 4 seater tables (newly put in this school year), were meant for group studies, but conversations are to be held within the table and the noise level cannot go beyond so other people at other tables can hear you. All the college kids who've come back to visit say that these are the dumbest things EVER created. And who could the person who came up with the idea be? Obviously the one who ends up dealing with the noise control. It's actually quite a laugh for everyone when she comes over to scold us for making too much noise, and when no one is doing anything wrong, she still walks over and tries to look for a table to bust. One of my college friends said that in his college apps last year, there was a question about what kind of environment he studies in; complete silence, some noise, or lots of talking. This made us realize that those were the exact three study environments we have in the library; the silent zone, the independent study tables, and the group tables. If there are people studying on the group tables and don't want noise, why don't they simply just go to the silent zone if they cannot handle it? It's confusing what the school is trying to do because the thought behind it seems so pointless, but it's hilarious for everyone to crack jokes out of the whole issue.
