Libraries are a great place to be, enjoy, learn, and relax, but a terrible place to meet new people. You're not really supposed to talk, and most people don't go there expecting to interact with a stranger or strike up a conversation.

Libraries are trying to do that (with community events, conference rooms, etc.) though. Depends on the library.

It depends. Many libraries host events on a regular basis where socialization is half the point.
