Noise Level Zone Policy
The Wheaton Public Library is committed to providing spaces that reflect the diverse needs of our users. In order to provide an environment that is conducive to quiet study, reading and collaboration, the library is divided into noise level zones. It is required, in all zones, that mobile devices should never be loud enough to disturb other people.

In this zone, only silent, independent reading and study is allowed. Users must have their mobile devices off or on silent and may not converse.
