[AISLE-Share] Dream Library

Tue Oct 23 16:03:19 CDT 2018

I want to add to what Christine Cahill said about skylights. Large windows
facing south became a major problem in my high school library a number of
years ago. There was almost always too much sunlight pouring in creating a
visual problem. My district finally added blinds to all four huge windows
which allowed regulation of the light.
