Food & Drink Policy

The following guidelines ensure that students will have a space conducive to research, learning and quiet study while protecting the materials, furnishings and equipment of the library.

• Food and non-alcoholic beverages are welcome in the main library; messy food (i.e., food that is greasy, sticky, or crumbly) should be eaten in the 24-hour study space.
• Keep all food and drink away from keyboards, books, and other library materials.
• Dispose of trash in trash cans and use available blue recycling bins. Dining hall dishes should be returned to the dining hall.
• Group parties are not permitted in the library.
• Food deliveries are not permitted and will be turned away.
•  “No Fault” policy: report spills immediately so we can ensure that damaged equipment, materials, furniture or carpeting is properly treated and there is appropriate clean-up.

The library reserves the right to enforce and/or amend these policies and to further limit food and drink in the library as needed to ensure the safety and protection of the students, staff, building, materials and facilities.

Thank you for your help and cooperation in making this policy a success.

Exceptions to any library policy should be discussed with the Library Director or appropriate designee.
