A Gentle Reminder: Etiquette and Elegance

Allow me to whisk you away to our beloved university library—a sanctuary of knowledge, whispered secrets, and scholarly pursuits. As we walk on its freshly carpeted floors, it’s time to discuss the proper way to behave within these treasured walls.

Silent Spaces: Imagine, if you will, the Silent Study Areas—a place where even the smallest sounds feel like secrets shared in the dark. Here, silence is golden, and chattiness is discouraged. A raised eyebrow or sharp look will speak on behalf of anyone disturbed.

Quiet Corners: In the Quiet Study Areas, soft conversations are allowed. Think of whispered chats over old books, where scholars meet like secret friends. But beware—the line between scholarly debate and scandalous gossip is as thin as a lace veil.

The Art of Group Study: Ah, the Group Study Areas—a space for thoughtful exchanges. Here, conversations should be like a well-rehearsed dance: smooth, balanced, and never overpowering. Disagreements are welcome, provided they are handled with grace and respect.

Strict Prohibitions: Smoking and vaping, my dear readers, are as forbidden as a scandalous affair. The air must remain clean and free of any impurities. If tempted, remember: Lady Nicotine is a fickle mistress, and her charms lead only to ruin.

Overdue and Lost Items: My dear friends, overdue items are like forgotten promises. Emails will flutter to you, reminding you of your duties. Fines add up—a pound (a guinea) each day. If a book is missing for 21 days, it is declared lost, and a bill will arrive, much like a letter from a heartbroken lover.

Yours in ink and intrigue,
Lady Whistledown

P.S. If you happen to meet a charming but rakish viscount in the book stacks, do let him know I am most displeased by his overdue books.
