Is it just me, or do libraries suck now?

Due to a despute between me and AT&T (namely I asked them not to suck, and they said no) and a recent move, I've been using my local library more and more. I may just be having a nostalgia trip, but I remember libraries being quiet, and god help you if you talked. Now it seems using the cellphone or getting your buddy's attention with a good ol' "HEY!" from across the room is not just common, but accepted. The staff does jack, and honestly is louder than patrons. Now don't think I'm pissed about the kids section. I love the kids section. Scream you head off in kids. Just STFU when you're in adultland, ADULTS!
Am I WAY off here, or is this common now?

you shouldn't be in the kids section.
You wonder why mothers are annoyed weirdo guys are hanging around their kids?
hehe, thats not what I meant. I meant that I know people who get pissed when kids run around and yell in the kids section. Its when the adults in just about everywhere won't shut up.
they either all own or all suck
no room for a Middle Path
These adults started yelling and shouting "put down my baby" for no reason.
what is with the world!?
Full of John Grisham books with missing pages.
The college library where I used to work the front desk has recently initiated a "self-checkout" plan, which means open access to book desensitizes. I'm half-tempted to go back and loot the place of their ancient priceless tomes as a lesson against laziness.
I'm going to file that post under O...for Ouchtits.
Because every time I want to read something new I can afford to buy a book
As opposed to reading it for free
And then getting more books
Also for free
My old college library supposivly had a page of the original Gutenberg Bible that was found just out on the shelves. I've never been able to decide if that was awesome or just retarded.
Print is dead.
I have one
Buying things is nice
Sometimes you can't afford to buy things and when those things are books libraries are pretty awesome
Especially if it's like "Well I mean, it sounds good but on the other hand it could suck a fat one"
Who the fuck wants to waste money when they could read that book for free
Basically you're a fucking retard
Zombie print?
boy i will go upside your head
Print will probably die within the next 50 years I'd say.
Probably being replaced by little pads that you download stuff onto, which exist today, but far, far more widespread.
Hang yourself you fucking cretin
