Students attending the Library's Mardi Gras Student Open House, February 2012, share their thoughts on their ideal library!

On Wednesday, February 15, 2012, the OHSU Library held its annual Student Open House with a Mardi Gras theme. Asked what their “ideal library” would be if they could be “queen” or “king” for a day, here is how they responded:

  • My favorite books and my dad the librarian.
  • Fireplace, comfy chairs, study area. Without unscientific health advice books (hint, hint). Tours and talks about the books in the historical section.
  • A quiet, clean, well lit room with comfortable study chairs all at a consistent 67 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Clean and pristine! Plenty of group study rooms. Many windows.
  • Study rooms with white boards and colorful dry erase markers. J
  • Lots of study rooms. Clean and quiet.
  • More group rooms. I really like this library though! J
  • Brightly lit study rooms with thick walls – lots of them!
  • Will be open late for those late studiers. Has coffee and fast computers at big desk with comfortable chairs! Lots of lights for reading.
  • Plenty of study rooms with computers in the rooms.
  • Espresso stand in the lobby. Dedicated quiet floor with many comfy chairs and plants and cubicles. Lockers to keep books in. Additional computers with large desks.
  • Alexandria! (I mean the old one).
  • Has many comfortable chairs.
  • Well lit workstations and friendly environment.
  • Quiet and free food and coffee.
  • Beer and a giant TV to play Blazers games.

  • Snow making machine and a sick booter off the 4th floor.
  • My ideal library – hammock, computers, relaxing, food, good books both educational and fun (drawing of hammock between two palm trees with sunshine).
  • My ideal library would have a coffee bar, soft music and a reflecting pool with oversized chairs to sit in and relax while reading/studying.
  • Unlimited course texts and a snow-cone machine.
  • Mardi Gras party EVERY DAY!!!!
  • Online course texts for all of my classes! More personal places to study. Dark mahogany everything!

  • More study break events at night, but otherwise very similar to this one!
  • A computer or computer access for after hours studying.
  • 24-hours open. A cafe' to encourage social activities. Renting out more multimedia supplies (laptop, projector, speakers…)
  • Would include more STATA stations and milkshakes.
