We’ve had these suggestion forms floating around the library for as long as I can remember. Not many are completed and submitted, though all do get individual attention and are posted on a bulletin board near the lobby. Usually the forms are actually thank you notes calling attention to staff members who were exceptionally helpful or requests for materials, but every once in a while I see one that stands out.
Requesting a monitored napping area/room with a maximum time limit of forty-five minutes. w/full support to staff for rules and regulations.
Wow. Just…wow. A university student wants a napping room monitored by staff. I suppose Anon would like a comfy futon to nap on. Should we maybe provide juice boxes and cookies as well? Maybe someone to wipe the drool off your face and hand you clean undies when you have an accident?
This is not the mission of the university library. We can however provide you w/ the names of local hotel + motel if you wish. Thank you.
The director’s response made me laugh. I guess she has no interest in wiping any snotty noses either.

This amuses me
Though, there are places to take a nap. Join a club and hang out at the cubicles. That’s where I napped.
There are certain times of day when the library IS a nap zone. A stroll through second floor stacks in the afternoon is proof of that.
zzzz
