Silent area is too noisy?

Help us keep your study areas quiet.  If you feel uncomfortable approaching noisy users, you can see if a librarian on the 3rd floor is available to help. If there is not a librarian available and you would like to alert Hunter College's Department of Public Safety, call 1212-772-4444.
