Dear Mrs Menon

UNHAPPY INCIDENTS IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY.

My friends and I have been going to the school library to do some self-study. However, we are unhappy about a few incidents which took place recently. I am writing to inform you of this incidents and I hope you will take actions to ensure that the library is a conducive environment for self-study.

There was this group of students who were rude to the librarian. They shouted at the librarian when she asked them to keep quiet. One of the boys scolded the librarian in Mandarin and he even used a few vulgarities. The librarian was angry and threatened to report him to discipline master, Miss Shin. The rest of the boys got angry and abusive when the librarian threatened them and challenged the librarian to report them all. Personally, I think that the boys should be punished for their disrespectful and rude behavior to the librarian as well as everyone else who was studying.

Some other students actually broke the rules and started sneaking food into the library when it clearly states outside that no food and drinks should be allowed in the library. They even spilled their drinks on to the table. There were ants as it was sweet drinks that they spilled. The table became sticky and it was impossible to study there. I hope that you will ensure that pupils observe cleanliness rules in the library. 

There was this boy who wore his PE attire into the library. He was soaked in perspiration. This is unhealthy for him as he may catch a cold. It was an unpleasant experience for the others in the library as they was a strong smelly odour.

I hope that by writing this letter, you will take action and create a conducive environment for self-study. Daily announcements concerning behavior when in the school library might help. Peace and quiet is all we ask for as it was not always this chaotic in the library.

Yours Sincerely

Nur Lina
