Library Modifications

The HBLL is pretty good.  Harold would be proud, but would he be happy?  I think that the Library could undergo some major changes to increase happiness inside its walls.  First, the uncomfortable chairs have to go.  I don't care where.  Just look at what people own at home for a good idea of what people prefer.  The wooden chairs with no cushion are lame and painful.  I am sitting in one right now.  My lower back is tingling.  If only I had a cushions or a chair that adjusts to the sitter.  Second, watching people take naps at desks is gross.  Reminiscent of downtown Portland with a park bench full of bums.  People need to get sleep during the day.  Let's get real.  Provide something that is more appropriate and still sanitary.  Beds would be perfect but not practical.  I think bean bag chairs or cots would do the trick.  Also a room with dim lights and sound proof walls would be fantastic.  Third, students want to eat and study.  The main floor area is not enough.  Some people want to eat and use a computer.  Others want to eat in a quiet zone.  There needs to be some sort of place for those activities.  Lastly, new funding will be required to make all these changes.  Bam, put a snack shop in the Library.  This will allow students to get snacks/sandwiches and even encourage students to use the Library due to the food.  Cecil, if you really are my homeboy you would approve these changes.
Your Fav Student,
