I'm currently back in school summer and there is no space left in the library, even on weekends in the summer. This isn't universally true of course, but neither is what is asserted in this paper. It seems part of a larger trend of baby-boomers discovering the joy of complaining about kids these days.
- zokier 16y agoLibrary might be bit more convenient for study, but its not a requirement. Of course fullness of libraries might discourage some students from studying, which in turn affects the statistics.
- kingkawn 16y agoDefinitely true, there is probably studying going on outside. That said, people being in the library still represents a positive indicator of studying, rather than the opposite. My school has a lot of libraries, many of which close early or altogether in the summer. With a small sample you could postulate that the main library is merely absorbing the displaced. Yet during the regular semester it is quite difficult to find seats in every one of them. The best conclusion would be that the libraries heavy use represents years of experience by the administration at providing slightly too few seats for the given student population. Also, "school summer" in my original comment indicates that my prospects are dim.
