I think we need more shower rooms across campus, in every building!

That would make our campus more kids friendly. Bonus – students will have more locations to cry! LoL

😢 It makes me sad that students need places to cry. But… yes. Private spaces are hard to find, and we all need them. And I think staff and faculty (especially those who bike commute, take running breaks, or just have complicated schedules) would also welcome more shower rooms. (pssst… you know about Maloney, right?)

🤫🤫🤫 Secret spot! Maybe you can build one in the library – I’m sure ppl would appreciate it during finals!

There already are many secret spots in the library (but they’re secret 😉 ). I wish we could install a shower. I’ll pass along the request.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
