I know that many people on campus view the Penrose Library as a big 1970's eyesore, but I have a fondness for the bright red walls, the orange carpet and the funny little study pods.
I suppose they were currently sorting some of the books because on the 2nd level that had hundreds of them laid out on the floor, inconvenient to get around but looked cool.
Seriously, I love the colors in this place. I might be crazy.
