Never admonish library patrons for listening to their headphones too loudly. Instead, a librarian should stand beside the offending patron, dance a vigorous MC Hammer dance, and say, "Wow! I'm really digging that jam!" Your endorsement will render the patron's coolness null and void, and send him or her running out of the library in embarrassment.

Love this. We usually just settle for dancing badly behind the desk in the staff area - which also works well for most cell phone rings.

Check out this potential fund raising project via Quiet Study Program at my alma mater's library.
