Lib vs. Bib

Hey loungers! I’ve been super busy lately and haven’t had time to lounge so I thought I’d do a quick post on lounging at school. The library is a place that is always quiet and academic so I sometimes opt for the more casual alternative: the bibliocafe also known as bibliocaf, biblio or just plain bib. For those of you that are unaware, the bib is a nice café in our library, full of comfy chairs and tables to work at, but there are no restrictions on how quiet one must be. This makes it perfect for casual chats, working on some non-academic projects (such as blogging), and just plain people watching. In bib, anything goes.


Kelsey lounges hard in bib. Notice that she doesn't need to have school notes, a computer or any other means of schoolwork in front of her. Lounging is completely acceptable here.

The library is a place that is quite a bit more studious although it depends what floor you’re on. Sometimes you will catch students sleeping on desks or finding some comfy chairs in the basement and falling asleep. This is a good alternative if you need a quick nap but don’t have time to go all the way home. Its all about the style of chair you sit in. cushioned chairs are more lounging-friendly wheras cubicle desks with hard chairs make you want to hurry up and study so you can get the hell out of there.


Stef lounges hard in the lib while listening to some slow jams. This situation may be a bit awkward, as you can see, everyone behind her is hard at work and may judge her for lounging this hard in the library. Although props for choosing a comfy chair, and knowing Stef, she had her bio notes close by in case she needed to whip them out.

All in all, I like to distinguish between the two as follows: lib is for work and bib is for lounging. How do YOU like to lounge in the lib vs bib?
