| Making the Computer lab downstairs a more "quiet space". People are always talking on their phones or chatting with each other loudly which makes it hard to focus when writing a paper. I understand that people need to converse but it would be helpful if it was quieter. |
| I would move the absolute quiet areas (like third floor) away from the stacks—I always feel guilty if I'm searching for a theology book up there, like my very footsteps are too loud. While I can't study in absolute silence, I think my friends who do might feel the same way about patrons bumbling about looking for books. |
| Spaces need updating and modernizing; replace most or all of the artwork on the walls |
| Continue to do what you do, I think that you guys are running a great system. |
| It would be nice to see a little more color. The library is great, but when you're in here for hours at a time, it can be a bit maddening to see so much brown. |
| We need new books! Especially those in the sciences; most of the science books are from the 80s or 90s, so they are only slightly relevant to today. Also, there are not really enough computers on the first floor during really busy times. |
| As a musician I would love to see more modern works as well as some more books on alternate religions. |
| Adding a restroom to the first floor would create more access to guests in the building. I think there is currently great resources to help us find what books we are looking and the people who work here are always very helpful. More comfortable chairs available for students reading would be fantastic--besides a bean bag on the second floor and a few places that are publicly located, there really aren't too many spots for privacy, comfort and silence to do academic or personal reading. |
| Updating the lobby area. Install food cart/espresso again |
| new furniture and carpet. fresh paint |
| I like that the second floor is not too loud and not too quiet, just a suggestion would be signs reminding people to keep their voices to a retain level. I do not know if it is possible but having a bathroom on the first floor or having a sign where it is located. |
| could be more colors |
| create more individual space for second floor (obviously it would be hard for first floor) and have more computers available on second and third floor for those who need a quiet space |
| organization of books on second floor is kind of confusing |
| new carpet |
| More online resource as well as texts |
| open earlier! |
| more natural light on 1st floor and 3rd floor. More chairs with attached tables. |
| Continuously offering interlibrary loan; adjust the alarm security system- they go off too often and distract people; make the library available during long, 3-day weekends as well |
| I wish the first floor by the computers was quieter |
| better outlet location more windows |
| more computer rooms on 3rd floor |
| more computers might be nice |
| more opportunities/space for reading for leisure less confusing shelving system |
| cheaper printing |
| no talking on cell phones on 1st floor, it gets frustrating |
| none |
| whatever you can do to enforce the 3rd floor being silent |
| more comfortable study areas on 3rd floor (besides study rooms, which have to be rented) |
| more printers |
| connection issues with epass |
| maybe it could open at 6:30 am more tables in food area, space fills up fast around 11 |
| I would like there to be more windows and natural light |
| printing from laptops bathrooms on 1st floor newer and more tables new chairs and renovation coffee stand |
| 24 hour weekends, would really help students with busy weekends |
| it would be great if there are computers for public use on the second/third floor. It gets really noisy downstairs sometimes extend the library hours |
| none |
| increased library time during finals/dead week. |
| more study rooms for 4 person groups |
| another place to get coffee, drinks, snacks |
| should have at least more than one copy of each book so multiple students can check them out for class |
| the computes on the left hand side of the help desk are slow. Anyway to make them faster. Talking on cell phones allowed |
| make more research resources available |
| more plugs available for laptops and devices more study areas |
| the public libraries done have the magazines PLU thinks they do, so more general magazines of all kinds would be appreciated |
| none came to mind - i love the library |
| none |
| more online journal articles available full text wireless printing more outlets at tables |
| more magazine selection more individual study areas/areas more separate from other people |
| stressing more that it should be a quiet environment, especially on the 2nd floor. Some people are very inconsiderate when others are studying |
| Free copies please and thank you. |
| more computers, I always have 4 cents left on my copy cards that goes to waste, I would like a system that adds to the copy card |
| less hot on the third floor |
| no talking on second floor |
| more outlet access from all seating areas |
| it would like to see the library get better furniture and a little remodeling. More study rooms that can accomodate more people. Better implementation of quiet areas and longer weekend hours. |
| more computers |
| i think the study rooms should have computers to use |
| more quite down stairs (1st floor) |
| none |
| a few computers on 2nd and 3rd floor, so it is quiet yet you can work on the computers |
| more subscriptions to medical journals would be helpful for broadening research for nursing students |
| wireless coverage |
| I wish the library was open more later on Fridays would be nice |
| Better water fountains, they all have bad water flow and don't taste good. More comfortable seating would be nice but isn't necessary. |
| update furniture |
| it would be nice to have more comfortable chairs like the ones in the lobby for the second and third floors. |
| add more printers |
| install head lam[s at the individual desks on the 2nd and 3rd floor |
| more tables closer to outlets, some outlets are nowhere neat tables |
| More Candy and better study rooms |
| I think the hours need to be improves ,especially near finals week( example: i think the library closes at 10 and it should close at 12-1am) |
| more study rooms featuring computers/ modem- it influences room choice |
| current magazine for people of color |
| can all of the computers get the adobe professional suite?That would be good...I totally get why not. |
| people at desk know more about a variety of things to better help students |
| it would be AWESOME if you could out some if the common text books in the resource section... sometimes I work ahead on online homework but forget my book at home. |
| to add some coffee machines, drip coffee or coffee court late at night. |
| open the library 24hrs( keep open at least 1 am on fridays and saturdays) |
| More outlets! It would be great to have more natural light, especially on the second and third floor. It would also be nice if we could get more comfortable seating throughout the library. |
| is there any possibility to open earlier? |
| wifi- no wifi for guests that is easily accesible.you have to know about gatekeeper.plu.edu to use the wifi.Not very user friendly. |
| I usually only use the library for printing |
| the restroom is way to small and is only 1 and is way to small we need one on first floor. good job for the services |
| none at the moment |
| adding to the music scores section |
| later hours on Friday and Saturday nights |
| i wish when i saved my work it would save to my user name so that i could access it on any computer |
| interior is dated could use some sprucing up |
| get some more plays especially recent |
| the building is outdated however i approve of the services and resources |
| The one thing I will like to the library to add is one restroom on the first floor. |
| snacks,study rooms,more friendly( less white more color) library club activities speakers open 24/7? |
| perhaps having snacks during finals week |
| quiet lights ( noise) more cheery colors, the chairs on the 2nd and 3rd floors are really uncomfortable on the neck and back( bad alignment of body) |
| home |
| inconsistently with the computer lab people being in or out with the sign |
| more computers |
| maybe have more audiobooks |

| more study rooms available with large group computer |
| extended hours |
| I think the hours could be longer on weeknights |

| study rooms are reserved on the hour 11:00-12:00 or 2:00-3:00 the rooms are only held for 15 min. class gets out at 12:20! I've lost my study room more than once because reservation hours don't match class hours. |

Put in a sink on the first floor in the Haley centre that students can use to get water to make tea or fill up water bottles. |
