Chairs to you!

Top o' the mornin' to you! I have many fond memories of my trip to the Emerald Isle to visit my Irish cousins...Simian Socus Emeraldus. ​

May your days be lucky and filled with laughter friends, and good books.

​Question: 
​Why do we have the comfy chairs and where did we get them?

Answer:
Let me answer a query with a query. Why do you think we have comfy chairs in the library?

Thought of anything yet?


How about now?

I’m guessing you’ve come up with some ideas, and I bet most of them were right. Here are a few reasons we have them.

1. We want you to feel comfortable. After all, the library belongs to everyone at DATA, students and staff included.
2. ​The chairs create little spaces where people can hang out by themselves and do work.
3. Sometimes reading at a table with a hard chair isn’t that fun.
4. We think it’s really nice to have a cozy chair to curl up in and read. It makes it feel kind of homey in the library.
5. Of course my favorite reason...once everyone leaves for the evening, all of us sock monkeys love to jump around on the chairs. (We don’t weigh much, so no one can tell.)

As for where we got them, most of them were donated by friends of the library. The bouncy one came from Target, or Tarzhay as it’s known in the socky community. Stop by soon and test them out. Maybe you’ll find a favorite new spot to read.

​Later Gators!
