• The library may be used for silent study only
• With the exception of bottled water, no food or drink should be consumed the library .

Though this is primarily directed to returning students, who were used to a different policy it does apply to all library users.  We would like to direct you to the basement area and other meeting venues around the building for any non-study oriented activities.
