Insomniac Librarians Why sleep when there's field literature?

I've been torturing myself on the ergometer lately. Hopefully my trainer thinks I'm dead, because I want to surprise him at the end of the month by making Concept2's challenge.

Yeah, yeah, this is a Library Science blog. I'm getting to it. :)

It's not possible to conventionally read and row. You've a handle in both yer hands. You're sweating bullets and trying not to pull yer back. I couldn't even manage to listen to mah iPod and do a 5,000 without crimping the headphones under mah seat. (Get an armband!)

Aedunno about you, but when I inherited my last Library, our chairs were well beyond shabby. I found some cheap Staples replacements at the time and called it a day.

If I knew then what I know now.

Bear in mind that some of your traditional suit and skirt set will *freak out* if you propose this, so some of your staff are bound to cling to their normalcy.

Show em this, and mebbe they'll change their tune:

But what am I proposing?

Replace some chairs with balls.

Yep. Balls.
