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?

How Will This Idea Benefit Students?

I often find that when I'm in the library, it is either too hot or too cold. Particularly, on ground floor when the doors were constantly opening. I would like to ask the library to review the processes they have in place around how they decide to heat the library. I believe that there is a way in which the library can be heated that would allow for students to feel more comfortable in the library, whether that is in a cooler or hotter spot.
