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.

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?
