Two-story library isn't as big as it sounds.... The first level has a lot of square footage... Maybe the main part is something like 80 feet by 60.... But it has an extremely high ceiling. Way high. Like, fifty feet high. A couple years ago, they took advantage of that, and built an upper level against three of the walls that goes out about 15 feet. There isn't an upper level above the librarians' desk so it's open there and lets in a lot of sunlight. If you're standing at their desk, you can see the entire lower level, all the entrances to the library, and the upper level's railings (the high ceiling is still open in spite of the upper level; it only goes out from the walls about 15 feet) are plexiglass, so they can see up there too, and in to the side room. The upper level is all books, and they seem to be Nonfiction. The main lower level is all tables, chairs, computers, etc. Then there's the other room off the lower level I mentioned with the Fiction books. Really, it doesn't contain as many books as it seems. 
But it is a cool setup.
I did start to read The House of the Scorpion, and it's been pretty good so far!

But seriously...I love the science library on my campus. It is so much quieter than the other library, and even though it's extremely inconvenient for me to work there because any books I need for research are in the other library, it is so worth working there because it is so quiet. I love it-plus, there's wi-fi there. XD
My school librarian is crazy! She only has 2 YW books and they are ancient! Plus, they are SYWTBAW and HW, with no DW in between.
We only have one wall of books, and it's not even full. We are mostly a computer library thing. I feel like our motto is 'down with books, up with computers.' And no one knows the YW series! It's so depressing!! oh my word. The first day of school, for only freshman, I would walk up to people and be like "Dai! what's up hrash't?" and thay would just look at me and be like "...ok." My current friends mostly responded with hey back or something like that. 
To give you an estimate, the last post you made was May 26th, 2008.

He'd be standing near the buses, "Come one, guys, just one more day! One more day until the weekend; we can do this together!" And last Friday morning, after a three-day week, he said, "This week went by pretty fast... I think we should come back tomorrow to make up for it!" And now he's gone. The new guy seems pretty friendly, but he's not as animated and full of energy as Mr. S. On Friday afternoon as I was waiting for my bus, I asked Mr. S., "How much longer are you going to be here?" He said, "Just another half hour." "Forever?" "Yup, I'm retiring in a half hour...." And apparently this is his fifth time retiring; he told us on the first day of the school he had retired 4 times; he told me that the Headmaster keeps calling him back because they need him while they search for another Dean of Students. They can't seem to hold the position very long. Maybe this new one won't last long and Mr. S will come back!
