Yes, that was the idea. Apologies for not getting to this earlier...
what free time I have available to spend at Noisebridge I've been
using to work on organizing the shop. The between-the-windows scheme
would require anchoring stuff into the concrete & so forth. Some of
the general concerns I've heard brought up with respect to the space
in the West end of the building:

* Electronic projects are spilling over into the sewing area
* Need for more space for people to sit & focus on individual
  projects (as apposed to just the couches which can end up
  being more social-circle-esque)
* Where should the books go?

My general thoughts with regard to the 'library space' project
have been that it would involve:

* Tidying up the books & storing them more space efficiently
* An area for people to sit & focus with a book, laptop, etc..
  kinda like what a real library offers (but with quietude
  provided via the end-user's noise-canceling headphones)

There are a number of ways we could address the above issues. For
example, perhaps we could find some used bookshelves & set them up
like partitions (well-supported so as to not be topple-threats) to
achieve some delineation between spaces? Anyhow, rather than try to
hash it out here on-list, how about if some number of us folks w/
concerns about how to deal with this end of the building & a desire
to do something about it meet up this Friday? I'll be in the space
maybe as early as 3 or 4pm, until late.
