Tales From the Library

This afternoon I found myself in the library stacks (PS3527.A15P3, which is not that far from QA). Among the rows of shelves are various study areas. Quiet study areas. Group study areas. Reserved carrells. Right in the center of the stacks is a small, walled off study room (which does not appear to have any ventilation ducts in it), maybe about the size of 3 music practice rooms, with windows so that you can watch the occupants. The sign on the door reads "smoking room."
