The quiet study room will now have electrical plugs in front of each desk (carrel). Customers will no longer have to bend down and climb under the desk to plug into surge protectors or extension cords. A new "knee wall" has been installed and electrical outlets have been placed on each side of the wall.

Installation of wall protection was also completed around the circulation and information desks. This protection is important to keep the walls looking good when book carts hit them. The new carpeting is protected with white corrugated plastic floor protection and Ram Board.
