Your Very Own Cone of Silence: Library Introduces Cell Phone Booths

If you’ve stepped into the Reading Room or visited the top floor of the library you’ve probably noticed our new cell phone booths. After all, how could you miss those towering shiny black cylinders?  In order to satisfy student requests for a quieter library environment, while at the same time accepting the reality that cell phone conversations are going to happen, we’ve installed six cell phone booths on the main and upper levels of the library.  Just step inside, slide the door shut, and chat away.  The booths are not completely sound-proof, but if you speak in a normal tone of voice you will enjoy privacy and those around you will enjoy a much quieter library.
