Food, drink, and cell phone usage

Food and drinks are welcomed in the library. Please help keep the library clean and library materials undamaged. For specific questions, please contact the local library.

To maintain the peace, quiet, and collegial atmosphere of the library space, turn off your cell phone ringers upon entering the library. Take calls outside the library. Library users who are disruptive to other library patrons will be asked to leave.

Personal materials left in public carrels, on tables, and around the library are not secured and are left at your own risk. Unclaimed materials will be moved to lost and found.

Library materials left lying around are not accessible for other library patrons. Therefore, library staff consistently picks up library materials left in public carrels, on tables, and around the library.

Several libraries are equipped with security gates. Please be alert for the possibility that the alarm may sound. If the alarm sounds, you will be asked to return to the library and resolve the problem.
