New place to read or rest in the library

The popular reading kiosks have been moved to the middle-right side of the 2^nd floor (as you come into the building).  In addition, a set of wooden bookshelves have been placed in that area, so the popular reading collection can be expanded.  The sofas and chairs that were formerly located near the main stairway have been moved near the popular reading collection.
