You make it sound like nobody wants to use the library at all. I’m sure if you approached a few more people some of them will say they do want very much to use it" Are you serious? I've been waiting on this library for a while. The other "quiet study areas" are horrible since there is no staff to tell people to shut the hell up. What's left? Oh yeah... the USU is noisy but has the best hours during weekends. I like the new library, it has all this new technology that will definitely help us all in the long run. I do see the lack of furniture as a problem, but they say it's because of the budget cuts. “I wish you’d talked to more students. You make it sound like nobody wants to use the library at all.

People will only go to the library to use it as a study area or for starbucks. Only select few professors ask their students to find something in the library as part of an assignment but it's rare. We have our books which we spent hundred's of dollars on! It's nice and all but I just see it as another study area...a really BIG study area. And all those HD tv's are a waste of money..seriously...especially the one hanging in McLane...what the heck is it even doing there...no one even looks at it....

I'm sure if you approached a few more people some of them will say they do want very much to use it. It was pretty full on Friday. I was a student in the '90s and couldn't have survived without the library. I wish you’d talked to more students. You make it sound like nobody wants to use the library at all.
