The issue of lighting in libraries is one that is still discussed and debated today. Correct lighting makes patrons feel good and comfortable in their surroundings bad lighting creates problems for patrons when they are looking through the stacks, and keep their visit to the library short. The lighting can even have a negative impact on the staff, who works there. If the lighting harms the ability for the staff to function, which can happen if lighting creates glare and heavy shadows, then the library will have less productivity. All in all, the library, with incorrect lighting would not be welcoming. ref Denise Enriquez, Let There Be Light, Library Talk 12, no. 5 1999 8, http web.ebscohost.com. ref History File BritishMuseumReadingroom.jpg left thumb 200px Day and artificial lighting in the British Museum Reading Room reading room of the British Museum The coming of the electric light into society had a huge impact as well. Electric lighting has not always been around, and libraries had to function without it. The dawning of the electric light caused a huge impact in the library itself. This 19th century innovation changed the library, and other public places, from relying on natural light, to a technology that could work no matter what time of day. Before the electric light, the library was so dependent on daylight that the sun determined its operating hours. Other technologies before the electric light were too unstable open flamed lighting was just too risky because of the fire implications. Books could not be near open flames, since one accident could destroy the whole building, and its collection. ref Jeffrey Scherer, Light and libraries, Library Hi Tech 17, no. 4 1999 ... access to information for the patrons. ref Jeffrey Scherer, Light and libraries, Library Hi Tech ... of modern lights, which can be traced back to the invention that changed libraries in the 19th ...
