To foster an inclusive environment that is conducive to studying, we ask library users to follow these policies:
- Feel free to have food and drinks in covered containers in most areas (see Food Free Zones, also listed below)
- Avoid foods that might be disruptive or create an unpleasant experience for others (e.g., foods that are strong-smelling or that generate noise), especially in Absolute Quiet Zones
- Throw away all trash, and clean up after yourself when you leave your study spot
Note that the following spaces are food-free:
- Bostock Library’s Carpenter Reading Room and adjacent tower reading room (covered drinks are allowed)
- Rubenstein Library's Gothic Reading Room (covered drinks are allowed)
- Rubenstein Library’s Reading Room and classrooms (no food or drinks)
