To maintain an environment conducive to the research and study needs of all of its users, and to preserve library collections, technology, and furnishings; the F.W. Olin Library has established this policy to ensure a clean, safe environment for studying and working.
Please be considerate of others and enjoy “library-friendly” drinks and snacks:
- Drinks in spill-proof containers with secure lids
…Travel mugs with lids and personal water/drink bottles are great options
…Please remember that open containers spill fast! - Finger-foods such as chips, cookies, fruit, veggies
…Please limit snacking to “dry” foods
…Please avoid foods that are sticky or greasy or messy or strong-smelling
…Please wipe up spills, smears, and crumbs; throw away wrappers and trash. - You will find paper towels in all library bathrooms and in convenient locations on each floor
- Domed waste bins for food refuse are located on the 1st and 2nd floors of the library
Designated Food-Free Zones:
- Lower level computer lab (room #020)
- Computer and multi-media workstations throughout the library
