Regarding the window sealed with a padlock in the restroom on the 2nd floor: Can we unlock that window? I’d like some fresh air, please?
We’re definitely sympathetic to this request, but the window does need to stay closed for security reasons. When it was unlocked in the past, people succumbed to the temptation to throw things out the window (including library materials).
And, of course, windows that let things go out also let things come in. We’d prefer everyone entering the building do so during open hours through the front doors. And we also suspect everyone who uses the restroom would prefer not being greeted by a visiting squirrel, bird, or raccoon!
