We have a horrible problem with people using their cell phones in our small library. The ceiling is high pitched and echoes, adding to the problem. We have signs posted to silence or set to vibrate all phones and we have our policy posted about noise levels that are disturbing to others, but a great majority of our patrons do not heed these directives. When we approach someone about the problem, they become very defensive. I have heard about libraries having a statement written on a card or bookmark that they can hand to the offending patron and wondered if anyone has had success with that and if so, what the wording might be.  Thanks in advance for any help you all can offer!
