i went to the upstair section and sat in a soft chair with the laptop cord plugged in to the nearby desk. moments later the white lady told me that "policy" doesn't allow it (apparently watching me intently, i don't know why, other than she is one of those white females who likes to nitpick white males (in a mostly non-white library, predominantly asian now) so she can feel superior) (she had to twist her neck to watch me as she was normally looking the opposite direction). meanwhile I see kids sitting on the floor in one section (probably also a policy violation), and after I moved to a new seat an asian guy sat down and put a blanket over his head and fell asleep and started snoring loudly and nobody said anything about it. what this tells me is that I was targeted not because of a serious "policy violation" (hardly anybody walks in that corner so it would not be a actual tripping concern) but because of being a white male. SHAME ON THIS LADY.
But also, why not add some plugs near the soft chairs on the 2nd floor. I can't sit very long in the hard chairs at a desk because of a hip disability. If it's a serious concern to have a cord stretched over to a desk , add some plugs near the soft chairs to accomodate those of us with disabilities .
