[aisle] Tables with Whiteboard Tops?

[Confer, MaryAnne]

Fiona,

I love the whiteboard tables that we have in the library. We've only had
them since August, but they are a hit with the students. The only downside
is that they can only be cleaned using Expo Marker or similar cleaner and
thus can't be truly sanitized. But otherwise, they are great.
