3. Before Decorations Beautiful layout, shelving and furniture, but kind of stark and lacking in warmth.

4. Study and Research Area Computer lab is adjacent to the library, but we currently have only one carrel with three computers in library for catalog searching and research. Would like more stations with less bulky furniture, like tables displayed in 2 nd picture.
