[ISLMA-Share] Flooring Question

Mon May 14 14:05:21 CDT 2018

We actually used to have carpet throughout most of our school (including
the library) and it was quite gross.  During my first year we had a
terribly bad round of norovirus and that was one of the factors that caused
us to remove all the carpet in the entire building.

I do not miss it at all in my library.  I think my space is brighter and
honestly can't tell much of a difference with noise level.  Granted, it has
been four years since we had carpet, but I never think that my library is
too loud.
