New Chairs - the Law Library wants your opinion!

The law library is reviewing possible replacements for the ever-popular aluminum chairs. We currently have four sample chairs opposite the circulation desk – give them a try and use the comment forms next to the chairs to let us know what you think of them. We also would like your opinion about the tablet chairs in the reading room. Over the past year several tablets have broken off and we are considering whether to remove the tablets and support arms. Before making a decision, we’d like to hear what you think about the chairs and how you use them.
