First, pretty much everyone uses ear buds, which are practically worthless- I can hear what people are listening to twenty feet away. Second, the rule is never enforced- if no headphones or ear buds are available, the worthless, selfish jerks just put the volume up so they can hear whatever crap they "need" to hear at the library.<br /><br />Personally, I don't know when internet access became some kind of social right, along with education, and therefore must be provided in libraries. But if libraries "must" provide it, they should either have the PCs in a separate room or at LEAST disable the volume.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-18800485064383497782011-07-30T22:28:54.056-07:002011-07-30T22:28:54.056-07:00You mean they actually hook the speakers up where ...You mean they actually hook the speakers up where you live?
