Is there a bed on the roof of the library?

Some reads can be a snooze, but is there a book so boring it would drive people to sleep on the roof of a library?

“Zimmerman Library was designed by (John Gaw) Meem in 1936 and opened on 1 April 1938… The Spanish Pueblo Style structure is highlighted by a central nine-story book of steel reinforced concrete, relived by vertical rows of windows,” according an article on the University of New Mexico website attributed to Associate Professor in the Center for Southwest Research & Special Collections, Audra Bellmore.

The tower is a central focus on campus, so what was grabbing UNM students’ attention instead on June 3? The sidewalk in front of the UNM School of Public Administration & Social Sciences allows for a view through the pine trees of what appeared to be a bed on one of the lower towers.

The frame of the “bed” looked like a dark wood and there seemed to be sheets and a pillow. It was the perfect bed just ready for a good night’s sleep after reading a book from the library or a long day at college.

Who would put a bed on the roof and why? The librarians, upon being asked, were not even aware there was a bed on the roof and even asked if it was a gag. “It’s not April Fool’s Day,” Senior Operations Manager Olivia Baca remarked. Baca solved the mystery and give visual confirmation that the “bed” was in fact speakers that chime to sound like a bell.
