A TOP-SHELF LIBRARY
A TOP-SHELF LIBRARY: "The new $35 million College of New Jersey library, due to be dedicated today, reflects the changing nature of college libraries.
Taking a cue from the coffee shops and bookstores that attract students in droves, the new generation of campus libraries are designed to be more comfortable and inviting. Wireless Internet access, group-study rooms, multimedia equipment, natural light and a Starbucks are the latest library must-haves.
'A library is not just a warehouse for storing books. A library is a place you go to be in a library,' said Taras Pavlovsky, the College of New Jersey's library dean."
