"If I were to build a dream library, it would have a classroom in it, seating thirty students for teaching. It would have an open lab in it instead of forty-something machines on the floor that everybody trips over in the middle of the floor. It would have quiet study areas and group study areas. It would have offices for the staff ...It would have lots of room for students; it would be bright and cheerful and have a little coffee corner, probably,"
