Critique from Lucy Smith and Rob Conner from presentation on April 16:
1. Need 20 seats in computer classroom; do not count computers in classroom as part of library computers; computer classroom should not be considered to be shared by library patrons

3. Keep service elevator on south
4. Visibility of every area is important
5. Good idea to rotate shelving to let in more light and provide better sight lines for librarians
6. Good idea to improve stairs to second floor
7. Fan shaped shelving is OK
8. Need more group study spaces
9. Laptops are the way to go
10. There should be areas where students can cooperate with each other – pie shaped tables ok
11. Knocking down walls OK
12. Removing center stair to first floor ok
13. Keep silent study room space, but can change use
14. Coffee shop is ok
