Library Oddities...

Need a pencil?  This handy machine is located at the library desk!  Buy several for school, home, and everything else!!!!!!

Restroom Design.  I know this is a frequent annoyance of mine, to the point that maybe architecture school should have a whole class on this.  The library restrooms actually have stall doors that open correctly (so that you don't have to stand on the toilet seat to close the door), so score for that.  However, they have vents that are located directly above the toilets.  And granted in the winter they blow nice warm air.  BUT, they blow so much air, that seat covers will not stay on the toilets, they blow away....  So then you are left with this balancing act of trying to sit hold the seat cover in place and sit down at the same time.  Not especially easy for those of us who are uncoordinated, like me!

Library Late Nights.  And as far as night owls at the library go.  By far and away, I am the only woman here after midnight.  And also one of only a handful of Americans.  Mostly there are international students.
