How was what I said p/a? I think I VERY plainly stated that I have taught my child to respect others and I'm not going to apologize that you dont see to feel others are due the same respect, I teach her to make sure that her behavior goes with the posted rules of a location.
And just because the libraries you've been in dont have signs doesnt mean all of them dont, in fact I've never been in one that DIDNT and that goes for public libraries as well as university libraries and specific research libraries

Both the university library here and the public library here have large signs saying no cellphones here. Once you step through the foyer and into the library, quiet is expected. Now, in my library, I know that the 3rd floor overlooking the entrance to the library tends to be the noisiest place because that's where people in groups get together to study. But if they're going to be holding conversations, most people get a study room, and take the conversation behind closed doors. There are also 2 quiet floors (out of 6 total) where no conversation is allowed, period. If you are caught being noisy, or talking on a cellphone, you will be asked to leave--regardless of where you are in the library. Even in the computer commons, there are several signs reminding people that the library is a study environment, and as such should be kept quiet. They deliberately opened a "collaborative learning center" within the library for people doing group work so that their noise would be kept minimal in the rest of the library.
Every university library I've been in has had a similar policy.
As for where you'll find me in mine...5th floor (quiet floor), at the back, in a study carrel with "PINK TACO" scrawled across it in Sharpie. No, I didn't do it, but it still tells me which carrel is mine.
