Round tables
Where did the big round tables on the 1st floor go? I think many students prefer tables to comfy chairs or desks, and the front room can be very noisy. Thanks for taking the time to share your comments via … Continue reading

Noise on the 2nd floor
It would be great if there was a staff member on the 2nd floor that was charged with controlling noise levels. People can become very disruptive and difficult to quiet without legitimate authority. We will continue to be attentive to … Continue reading

Can the ‘school plan’ map be moved to a different are of the library, or the old place? Sitting in the reading room is nice but it is attractive for talkative tours. Isn’t student learning the primary object rather than … Continue reading
Noisy!
It’s very distracting when people talk on the phone or work in groups in the front room. Perhaps there could be signs reminding patrons to be considerate of other who would like study in silence. The first floor is by … Continue reading
