Jerry asked me to pass along word that Buildings and Grounds is looking into the recent occurrence of rattling and rumbling noises in the reading room. The cabinets that hold the atlases seem to be vibrating from some sort of circulation fan nearby. Jerry suggested that if any students come to the reference desk to complain about the noise, we go out of our way to thank them for reporting the problem, acknowledge the problem, mention that we are working on a solution, and recommend other quiet locations for study.
