Library issues

The library I study at, here in Beijing, is convenient and quiet. I usually can accomplish a great deal. However, several things do irk me.

- "no bag" policy
The first two or three times I entered the library, I was greeted by "你好, 别拿袋子," i.e. "Excuse me, no bags are allowed." Patrons must leave bags outside the library, on a row of chairs outside the entrance. Then, they must empty the contents and bring those contents inside, by hand (in other words, this policy defeats the purpose of having a bag). Several times I've forgotten something, and had to go back outside to get it. Other times, I have left things at the library that I should have taken.
- limited Internet connection
The library has a wireless network, but users of that network can access only China-based web sites. If I want to access U.S. web sites, I have to use a physical Ethernet connection, but there are NONE on the main floor of the library. Instead, I have to go upstairs to one of the classrooms, some of which have a limited number of Ethernet jacks.
- limited hours of stack availability
The stacks close at 5 pm during the week, and are unavailable completely on weekends. Fortunately, much of the material I use and need is online.
- early closing on Friday and Saturday
On these days, the library closes at 3:45 pm. Students who are studying therefore must find another place.

The reason I was given for the early closing, and for limited stack availability, is that the staff has a meeting at 4 pm on Fridays. I wonder why they couldn't schedule the meeting later, or just keep the libray open, and let students know that many services are unavailable during the meting.

To be sure, there ARE things I like about the library. When they announce the closing, they play a really beautiful song as a signal. There are times when I will come to the library near closing tiem just to hear that song. My host student, Cissy, thinks I'm weird in that regard. I've even asked the librarians if the song is available on CD?
