There is no more inspired hall around our stately oaks than the Middleton Library. Middleton has housed the most impressive compendium of academia on campus for five decades.  But it’s been known for more controversial areas during the last five years, including the availability of Playboy on microfilm or the more infamous “Glory Holes,” now sealed and secured. But some people still want to see this vital resource torn down.Most popular complaints about the library involve either its location or its infrastructure. The original design of the Quad was split into smaller sections when the library was built, leaving what we know as the Quad today taking up the biggest piece.  Students can look back to the days when the “Quad” was actually an oversized cross, spreading to the right and left and extending the amount of green space visible from the center of campus. When the library was constructed, it divided the cross into the areas that now exist.The other complaint is the old nature of the building. What was “cutting edge” 50 years ago doesn’t seem so in our technological age.But the library has adapted to the changes in academia through thick and thin. It’s added a computer services lab, oodles of computers and more study areas for undergraduates and graduates alike to come together and learn. The Daily Reveille recommends you look around the floors, immerse yourselves in the different sections of books and try not to worry about what you might know about the ills of the library. You might learn something new.One thing’s for certain — there is neither the time nor the resources to reconstruct this valuable trove of information.Middleton Library is probably going to be around for a long time — as it should be.
