Suggestion:
- I think the library can get more students to study more in there if they change the lighting. TWU's library has a tint of yellow which makes the place look dim and sleepy. Comparing to UNT's library, they have brighter lights which help us stay awake while studying. After 4 hours of studying at TWU's library it makes me sleepy, but i am able to stay at the Willis Library longer without getting sleepy. Just a suggestion. Thank you!

Response:
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. If you will notice the next time you are in the building you will see that we are in the process of changing our lighting. The yellow tints that you see are the bulbs that are of the older type. If you look around you will see brighter lighting is being installed. The problem is we are replacing the old bulbs as they go out due to the astronomical cost of replacing them all at once. The can lighting has already been changed and this has helped tremendously.
We have thousands of lights in our building and I expect it will take us at least a year to replace all the old florescent lighting with the new “Daylight” lighting.

Please be patient with us and again thank you for taking the time to let us talk with you.
