You must have a great library and that is a brilliant idea! I bet you had a bit of an audience.

Glad for you that yours is more customer friendly, though!

Have you asked them? I think it might be open to the public.

I haven't used the library, however, I have used the banquet tables of my church, put two together and one nice, large basting table, with no crawling on the floor - besides, if I got down on the floor they would need a hoist to get me up. Just sayin'. LOL

You can also cut 1 ft sections of PVC pip to slip over the legs of the table to raise it up a bit so you aren't leaning so far, lots easier on the back
