If you want to argue for nap rooms, I'm all in. Let's cut the "increase our stadium" tax on tuition to fund it.

But people sleep at the library because there's no other place that will tolerate a person sleeping. Not the coffee shop, not the park, not the student center. Nor, in our very loud society, is there anywhere quiet to lay your head.

But the role of the library isn't to provide the disadvantaged (or more often than not, a person fatigued from excessive entertainment) a place to sleep. It's to provide a sanctuary for study. If you're not studying, you're occupying a (valuable) spot for others.

Note, I'm not referring to 15 min. power naps and the like.
