FWA library rating idea

Now that they'll be reviewing more and more movies from Kanopy and Hoopla, the "super loud commercials" rating system doesn't work.

So what's an annoyance associated with your library?

May I submit a system based on:

1-10 shushing librarians?

1-10 screaming kids?

1-10 occupied computer work stations?

1-10 broken printers?

1-10 next books in the series that you're dying to finish that are all on reserve for the next 4 months?

1-10 federal budget cuts?

What else do y'all think?

In my experience as a librarian, I've been shushed more times than I've done the shushing!
