We have had semi-serious conversations here about having lap blanket
checkouts. Our fourth floor is prime quiet study space, but when it's below
freezing outside--which is the case pretty much 24-7 in the run-up to
finals in December--it's frigid up there.

On the one hand, I love the idea of displaying the temperatures to students
on the Web site ("Too cold on the 60 degree 4th floor? Take a break in the
80 degree computer lab in the basement!"), but on the other hand, I don't
want to discourage them from studying in the library....
