Request for wireless Internet and print services in Library. I would love to use the Library facilities more but the computers are always full.

Suggestion passed along to Library Director

Comment: “I find it rather unfair that I come into the Library to study and to work on several papers and there is a Lady constantly on her cell phone. There is another person yelling across the room to her friends. If I can’t study and do homework where can I go? I am very serious about my school work. Library should be for that purpose only. Work in may be those other people finding some where else to do that! Thanks.
• The Library is trying to ‘create’ specific ‘quiet’ areas as school work and projects become more collaborative. Currently the 2nd Floor has the ‘quietest’ space.
• Please let the staff know when other people are interfering with your work and we take care of the situation.
• Cell phones should be turned off when patrons enter the building; We are working on improved signs

Cheaper coffee! Faster laptops! But overall, amazing!

“What happened to the quiet rule in the Library?”

Please let the staff, know when someone is too loud and we will ask them to be quiet. Do not feel you need to do this yourself. As computer and group work has increased, so too has the noise level in the Library.
