Bedford Library - study environment

am not a student but I use the university library to read. I feel compelled to complain about the level of noise after 10pm in the quiet section of the library at the Bedford campus. For the past 2 days a small group of young students ( always girl and sometimes 3 or 4 boys) have been coming into the library between 9 and 10 pm chatting away as if they were outside totally oblivious to other students around and continue on until other students leave out of frustration. On Tuesday 22 November the same started playing music and when challenged by security simply told them to go away. Her friends who were sitting in other parts of the library were similarly chatting away, laughing and talking on their mobile phones. It's not acceptable and this small coterie of students must be stopped immediately.

Thank you for raising your concerns. Level 2 is the silent area at Bedford Library there is no quiet area. I am not clear whether this is the place you are referring to. If it is please report your concerns to the member of security staff on duty on the ground floor and email me that you have done this.

If you are not referring to level 2 please move to this floor to work

Thanks
