So I have been in Bird Library pretty much all day today and I've got a couple observations I have to muse on:
#1) I have counted 15 different people sleeping in the library today. If that is not comfort, I don't know what is! I love that like on every floor I go there is someone catching Zzz's in like two chairs pushed together or bent over a desk and what not. My only question is, who is waking these people up to go get food or to go to class? I think one girl has been here as long as I have and she's just been sleeping. Perhaps she is just a mannequin put there to throw people off??
#2) Bird Library is seriously like the most utilized library I have ever been in. I've been up and down the floors today looking for different books and everywhere I go, I have to search for a stinking table! That was never the case in Cortland, you went above the first floor and it was open to all! It's the coolest thing, but also kind of sucks when you're looking for an outlet and THERE IS NONE TO BE FOUND! So only thing I would like from Bird right now, outlets at every desk. Or like, in the middle of the floor in areas where they have lots of desks, that would be helpful.
#3) Okay, that wasn't the only thing I want from Bird. Wouldn't it be cool, if you could like chain your laptop and backpack and cell phone and what not to the desk. That way you could go and wander the stacks and not have to worry about people taking off with your stuff! I was thinking that as I packed ALL of my stuff up to go up to the fourth floor to grab a book that was put up there especially for that reference collection, but the other books that it's usually housed with is on the second floor and that's also what I needed (hope that sentence makes sense....). I think I packed up and moved my stuff like 7 times today, not a fan!
That's it on my Bird Library ramblings....
