Regulate the temperature of the library
I often find that when I go to the library, the temperature in there is never comfortable, it is either too hot or too cold. Can we ask the Library to review how they heat the library?

Update from the UPSU Team
An update from Vice President - Education and Democracy, Rama Hilouneh:
This was a project which Ken Dick was keen to flag up prior to it coming through the Have Your Say Platform. As this was an issue that was most during the winter months, and the HYS motion came when the months were much warmer, hence why we used the time to collate feedback from students to send to Estates. This will help me and Ken build a case as to why there needs to be more investment in a better heating system for a building like the library (which is fairly old). As this is a continuous campaign, our lobbying to Estates with the support of Ken will continue.
