Dirty walls

Suggestion: Clean the walls, they are nasty (Bryan Campus Library).

Response: I agree - the walls are looking pretty dingy. Sadly, most of our walls are non-washable paint. I've tried a couple of spots, and the paint and texture will wash off. It's especially bad next to white boards in study rooms. It might take us a while to remedy the situation, because funding is pretty tight right now.

I have contacted the Executive Directpr of Operations for Brazos County campuses about this, and hopefully we'll be able to work out a plan to address this problem.

Smelly library

Suggestion: Clean the library, it smells.

Response: The library is cleaned every week day (vaccuuming, mopping, dusting surfaces, wiping tables); in addition, the restrooms are cleaned hourly while we are open. I asked the staff if the library smells bad (I couldn't smell anything) - and no one else did either. I think sometimes when we first open, the air can be a little stale from the air-conditioning being mostly off at night. Perhaps it was that, or just a factor of too many sweaty people in the library on a particular day!
