Hi,
We don't have a problem with this at all but then we don't have any
posters banning mobile phones.
In my experience, as soon as you ask someone not to do something, they
do the opposite. Try removing the posters and see what happens.
The vast majority of our users take their calls outside, and if they
don't, they get a "librarian look" and then they go outside:)

How many of your readers use their mobiles for speech in your library.
We seem to get more and more who think it's perfectly acceptable to chat
away in the Library. We have notices about mobiles but they seem to be
ignored. Does anyone else have this (burgeoning?) problem?
