[LM_NET] Remodeling: Windows and Floor

[Beth Meister <librarybeth@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello, everyone!

My school may be doing some remodeling in the library.
 I'm looking for advice or warnings on two topics:

1. I have one wall with windows and direct exposure to
sunlight.  We have had some fading of books, so I
usually have to keep my (old and thick!) curtains
closed.  Does anyone know a way to let in some light
without damaging the books?  I'd like to brighten up
the room, but I'm not sure if there are any
glare-reducing shades or something that might work.

2. I'd like to switch to carpet, and the administrator
suggested carpet tile squares which can be replaced if
they get stained.  He's not sure how carpet would hold
up in the library - we don't have a lot of
eating/drinking in here, but we do move tables and
racks around a lot.  Does anyone have experience with
this?

Thanks as always for sharing your experience - LM_NET
is amazing!
