UNPLEASANT INCIDENT IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY

My friends and I have been going to the library to do some self-study lately. However, we are unhappy about a few incidents that took place in the library and we hope that you will take action to make the library a more conducive place to study in.

There was a group of boys who were rude to the librarian. When the librarian asks them to lower their voice, they ignore her and talk even louder. When the librarian threatened them that she will report them to the discipline master, they became more abusive and scolded the librarian and ask her to go and report them. I personally think that the boys should be punish for their rude and bad behaviour.

Another group of students broke the library rule by sneaking in food. They brought in tidbits and sweet drinks and they left it on the table after finishing the food. They also spill some of the drinks which makes the table sticky and not suitable for us to use. There will also be insects like ants and fly as the food and sweet drinks will attract them. I think that the librarian should be more strict and makes sure that the student do not bring in food to eat.

There was a boy who wore his PE attire into the library. He was soaked in sweat when he came into the librarian. He might catch a cold and the library will stinks. It is very unhygienic and unhealthy. I hope the the librarian will make sure that students should be wearing their school uniform when they enter the library.

A group of students were playing games on the computers for a long time. Those who need the computer urgently cannot use it. I think the librarian should check on who is using the computer and what they are using it for regularly.

I hope that you will take action so that other students can have a conducive place to study in.

Yours sincerely,
