I won’t be able to attend this evening, and apologize for the short notice. The cafe is still open of course.

It was a quiet night until about 8:00p, and then parents with six – count ’em, six – kids came in running, screaming and horsing around while their parents ignored them, finally leaving with ice cream in their hair and on the floor. None of the family had any concept of personal space (hard to pull off in a nearly-empty venue) and the gaggle of children averaged eight years old, definitely old enough to know better. My ears were actually ringing from the intensity of noise cancellation with noise generation, which I didn’t think was possible.

The venue staff handled it like champs, but any attendees would have instantly bailed outside.

I mention this because, every once in a while, people enter the venue that the host can’t control. What can I say, leaving your house can be high risk, it comes with being alive. Silence in the Library exists so that we don’t have to embrace these risks all by ourselves.

And we’re at this venue because afterwards, there’s ice cream. 😉

The last Tuesday of the month is next week, March 31st. I look forward to a quiet night of ice cream and reading. 😉

I apologize for the late notice, but I will not be at the cafe this evening.

Also, please be aware we are changing the schedule from twice per month to only the last Tuesday of the month.

The cafe settled down at about 7p, we had a whole table to ourselves and things couldn’t have been quieter.

Well, that cold I got was awful..! It’s good to be functional again. The evening couldn’t get more quiet, it’s a perfect Silence in the LIbrary tonight.

I’m pretty sick with some kind of cold so it’s surely best that I’m not around other people. Feel free to visit the cafe of course, but I won’t be able to join you.

The cafe is quiet again which I’m grateful for, no muss or fuss. It’s a good place to show up, quietly read with something to drink and silently depart.

It was beautiful here tonight – quiet venue, calm night, good chai, no muss or fuss.

In earlier venues we could reserve tables for ourselves, but here we get quiet little niches; plusses and minuses.

Everyone should bring noise cancelling headphones.
