I assume you mean that the "customers" would be standing not the library staff? If you do mean the library staff then you are likely to be contravening section 11, subsection 3 of;
Statutory Instrument 1992 No.3004
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992
Which says
"(3) A suitable seat shall be provided for each person at work in the workplace whose work includes operations of a kind that the work (or a substantial part of it) can or must be done sitting."

Hello Colleagues
Here at the University of Bedfordshire we are looking at getting rid of our "Hadrian's Wall" or Enquiry desk and not just repositioning it but also making it a "stand at" service point.
Would anyone be prepared to share details (shape, supplier, staff attitude & customer response) of any chair free Customer service desks such as the ones in Newcastle Public Library and Leicester University Library?
I look forward to your responses.
Thanks
