<p class="MsoNormal">Our library has never had any lounge seating, only study tables and chairs; my guess is that is pretty unusual – anyone else have the same situation? If you’ve had the opportunity to remodel or build a new library, what % space did you
give to comfortable/casual seating vs. study?<o:p></o:p></p>
