Food and Drink in the Library

We aim for the library to be a place that is comfortable and conducive for all people in our campus community to focus on their studies and research. To that end, library users should:

  • Avoid food and drink that may distract other library users or damage library materials and equipment.
  • Bring only personal single-serving snacks (no group refreshments outside of library-approved events).
  • Properly dispose of all food, trash, compostables and recycling.
  • Clean up any spills right away—if you need assistance or cleaning supplies, contact staff at any library service desk.

Additionally:

  • Food deliveries are not permitted.
  • To protect particularly rare and valuable items, no food and drink is permitted in Archives and Special Collections.
