• Speak on your cellphone in the stairwell or the Atrium, not in Library study areas.
• Eating is prohibited in the Library. Drinks are permitted only in containers with lids.
• Library and technology staff may have conversations with each other and patrons as part of providing service and supporting research. Points of service are located on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Floors. The 4th floor has no service points and may be quieter than floors with service points. Kindly let staff know if their conversations are disruptive.
• Email any concerns about the Library environment to Associate Dean Melanie Knapp.
