Whereas Students while studying are in need of nearby separated spaces to accept personal phone calls on their mobile phones particularly on quiet floors
Whereas The UT Arlington library system has already started installing community charging stations in a few select locations
Be It Further Resolved That The UT Arlington central library should invest in converting the outdated and unused phone booths on the upper floors of the central library to community charging stations where students may duck inside to accept personal phone calls away from the rest of the quiet library activity.
