Just a reminder that the library is set up so that different zones have different levels of noise. Please make sure that you are staying in the zone that makes sense for what you are doing so that everyone in the library can do what they need to do. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and welcoming environment!
![[Image Description: A light purple watercolor background. Text at the top reads "Please Respect Your Library Noise Zones" and there is a muted speaker graphic next to it. Red, orange, green and blue rectangles are center right and an arrow labeled "loudest" at the top and "quietest" at the bottom is running through all of them. The red rectangle at the top says "First Floor / Lively and loud / Steady noise". The orange one below it says "Second Floor / Conversation and Collaboration / Steady noise". The green rectangle says "Lower level / quiet and calm / soft conversation". The blue rectangle at the bottom says "Third floor / silence and study / silent - no talking or noise!". Text on the left side reads: "We want everyone to get the most out of their time at the library, with or without staff presence. Please follow these guidelines for noise levels when you are in the library. Signs are posted on each floor. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and welcoming environment!" and there is a wavy blue line under it.]](https://www.otterbein.edu/library/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/Library-Queit-Levels-1-819x1024.png)
