    Users of the James Joyce Library will be pleased to hear that they've finished replacing the escalators. The new ones are much quieter, and are also sensor activated: they only work at full speed when someone gets on, and for a short while afterwards. Plus they have nifty blue LED strips, so you can pretend you're heading for the top floor of a nightclub, instead of looking for a boring textbook. :cool:

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    The old ones weren't that bad IMO. A little dated but they did the job no problem.

    Lights are clearly to discourage intravenous drug use on the escalators.

    In other news, I like them muchly.

    does this mean the library is now open evenings and weekends - given that the stated reason for early closing and weekend closing over the summer was the instalation of the new escalators :rolleyes:

    Yeah, I hate it when that happens. The last time I was stuck on there for so long, I nearly wet myself, before help arrived to restart it. :o
