Liaison Librarian Eli Gandour-Rood tries out the library’s new water fountain
In less than a week, over three hundred water bottles have been filled at the new drinking fountain in Collins Library, which incorporates a reusable water bottle filling station into its design. The bottle filling station provides a fast and easy opportunity to efficiently refill a mug, water bottle, or thermos. The efficient design incorporates a motion sensor, and plenty of space to fit a water bottle below the tap, allowing thirsty students and staff to fill up on water with no muss or fuss. By making it easier for people to fill their reusable water bottles with cold, filtered tap water, this filling station encourages the Puget Sound community to reduce waste from disposable single-use bottles and stay healthy and well-hydrated! Just one more way that Collins Library is committed to environmental sustainability, and making life easier for our students.
