Hello all!
We have audible signals in our elevators at the Main Library (San Francisco
Public Library). I don't believe we have ever had complaints. We have
received: some amused comments about the tone of the voice; some
suggestions that the messages be made longer, announcing service desks on
each floor; and, positive feedback from library users who are blind or have
low vision.
