“It would be very nice to be able to print double-sided documents at the Library, for reasons of space in my backpack and for environmental reasons.  I do not expect, nor do I think most students would expect, to pay just ten cents for a double-sided document.  10 cents per page means 20 cents for a double-sided page.  Fair is fair and I think most people think that way.  –S.D.			Thank you for this well worded comment.  We will pass it along to facilities and request this be made an option on the copiers and the computer printer.
Open Library earlier @ 6am. Make exceptions to reserving rooms to avoid disrupting an individual in the study rooms.			Thank you for this suggestion.  We will pass it along to the Library Director. Group study rooms are for groups not individuals and they are in very high demand.  We are sorry you were disturbed, but please use the quiet areas upstairs for individual, study work.  Due to high demand, the study room policy was changed and we no longer take reservations.
