Library Suggestion Box

Paint instead of markers for the board in the atrium. But other than that its GREAT!

HAha, We had no idea how much our students liked paint! The paint shall return next year!

1) In addition to having a "cash to deacon card" machine near the circulation desk, I think we should have one in the Cafe 24 Hour Room. This way, people can easily put money on their card if the machines need exact change or if they need to pay for prints.

2) I don't know if the library already supplies this service, but I think they should rent out headphones for free. People should be able to borrow a pair of headphones, in exchange for their deacon card and when they return their headphones, they'll get their card back. If this system is already in place, it should be better advertised. People should be able to rent them out from the circulation desk.

It would be nice to have a second "cash to Deacon card" machine in the library, but the cost is prohibitive. They are expensive to own and operate!

We do circulate headphones from the circulation desk. Here is the policy from the Access Dept. web page:

"We circulate headphones for 2 hours at a time to enable students who want to watch DVDs in the library on their laptops."

You may be right that we need to advertise this service more. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you to everyone for keeping the coffee, sugar, and creamer filled and fresh!! You all save my life by keeping the library open all night. I am grateful to whoever it is that works to help us graduate students have a place to do our work at 3 in the morning. Thank you again!!!

You are entirely welcome! It is our pleasure to create an environment where our students can succeed. Library staff take turns volunteering for the midnight shift. Not many students take the time to say thank you. We appreciate your kind words!
