Suggestion from a Bryan Campus student:

I like to study in the quiet area but the tables are always taken. I'd suggest switching to smaller tables (maybe with 2 seats instead of 4) because there's usually only 1 person to a table and everyone wants to study privately. I'd also suggest more of those private cubicle desks that are along the far left wall.

Response:

Every seat at every table is often taken during the busiest times of the day. We are just too small for the number of students who attend at the Bryan Campus. We have taken pictures to document the problem and hope we can add space at some point in the future. Until then, feel free to sit at any table – other people sitting at a table should not keep you from studying quietly at the same table. Please tell a library staff member at the service desk if anyone is not respecting the quiet study environment on that side of the library.

We also like the individual study carrels, but won't be able to add more or change tables while budgets are so tight. If we have the opportunity to add space or renovate, we'll push for more private seating like this, as long as it doesn't reduce our total seating capacity.
