New Library Buoys


January 22, 2016


Over winter intersession, the UC Merced Library acquired 25 new, very colorful Buoy style stools to provide additional seating options for library users. The Buoys have a playful contemporary design that encourages movement and activity but perhaps more importantly, they are portable! Each one weighs just under 20 pounds, so move them around to create your own study or collaborative work area. The Buoys can be found on the top 3 floors of the Library.
