PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Frank Atry stated his concern on the unacceptable noise at both libraries. Especially the Paul A. Biane Library. He has lived in the area twenty-six years and has watched the growth in Rancho Cucamonga. The increase in signal lights on the major streets. Libraries have been transformed into playgrounds. They have turned into a recreational place for kids. Mr. Atry stated that there were “Quiet” signs at the Archibald Library. Why have the signs been taken down? Mothers come in with strollers and kids are running around. Mr. Atry stated he is not a regular user, he goes through spurts. He has internet and a computer at home. He expects peace and quiet when comes to the Library. The basis of his complaint is the use of cell phones in the library. Mr. Atry stated that library staff are not quiet. One particular individual that works for the library uses their full voice – the volume is loud. The staff need to talk in a lower voice. Mr. Atry stated that the installation of the doors to the Biane Library next to the Technology Center was a faulty design. The doors are constantly opening and closing. President Temkin stated to Mr. Atry that he is limited to five minutes and that his time was almost completed. Mr. Atry stated he was done.
