APRIL FOOLS!- A New Remodeling for the Pacific Library

A campus wide announcement was dispatched throughout the university informing students that the library will be undergoing new renovations. According to the university, the first floor will be completely remodeled. Faculties and students have expressed concerns over the newly released blueprints of the library. 

Professor Lena Keruption, the Professor of Librarial Studies, stated that “it seems a bit concerning that the university is choosing to add books to the library given the new digital age. We have computers now. Why do we need books anymore?”

In fact, the entire floor of the library seems as though it’s going to be dedicated entirely to housing books. The walls will be covered with bookshelves, leading many to wonder whether this space is being used efficiently. 

Abigail Lier, Business (‘23), said that she “personally didn’t see the merit in having a library full of books because the only people who would need them are like English majors.” This does raise more questions about who this change truly benefits. 

Another student Darren Eyediot, Finance (‘25), says that “a library full of books will not make the university any money.” Libraries should be functional for everyone, including the university itself. Plus, there’s the frightening thought that the campus Starbucks may be removed and replaced with free books. (Feel free to audibly gasp)

With more concern coming through about whether or not this change will be beneficial for Pacific students, the administration has released another statement saying they have a committee full of administration (none of who have experience in teaching) that are re-examining the choice to renovate.
