Portable seating in the library

07 March 2012 Categories: library admin, News

You may have noticed the library has a few bean-bag style chairs scattered around the building.  These single-person chairs

are an attempt to provide flexible and portable seating for studying, collaborating, and being able to move together in groups or move the chair with you to any location in the library you desire. (If you didn’t catch the italics, the emphasis is on one person-per chair and keeping them in the library).

Usually you will find these chairs near the windows behind the reference desk.  Feel free to move them to any location in the library that works for you.  No need to bring them back to where you found them.  If you like studying in this type of seating in the library, let us know.
