New Comfy Chairs Roll In
Check out the 20 new comfy chairs temporarily residing in the first floor Weise Gallery.
The Library Genie was able to fulfill a request from the 2015 survey for more comfortable seating. These beauties are soft and cushy and covered in solid blue leatherette. Each has a silver handle on the back and rear wheels to easily move them to your spot of choice. We’ve found that students are already using them for study and group chats. We will soon be positioning them around the floors where needed.
