<div dir="auto">Hi,
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I can expand and clarify a bit: our quiet study/small group meeting rooms are currently open to all ages, but we are having a lot of problems with after school teens and middle schoolers using the rooms inappropriately (being noisy and rowdy,
trashing and vandalizing the spaces, and harrassing people.) We do enforce our quiet and behavior policies, but it's day after day after day, and staff are getting weary from it and other patrons are getting upset at the daily disruption. So we are curious
to see what policies/procedures others have for such rooms. </div>

Is it right to limit a space by age if your policy on quiet is strong enough to enforce? What's the reason for stopping a younger person from accessing a quiet space?</div>
