Library Use Policy

Library Use Policy

The following policies have been established for the benefit of library patrons as well as for the protection and longevity of the library facility and its equipment and resources. We appreciate your cooperation!


Food in the library

Food is OK in the library cafe area only. Drinks with lids are OK throughout the library.

Cell phones

The library is a "no cell phone zone." If you carry a cell phone, please either turn it off or set it to vibrate when you come in. If you should receive a call while in the library, please go outside to take the call.

Be considerate and respectful of others

Disruptive behavior (e.g. loud talking, socializing, eating in non-designated areas, and other inappropriate behavior) may result in offenders being asked to leave.

Group study sessions

Group study is encouraged in the library. Please use the group study rooms for this purpose. Group study rooms are available on a first-come first-served basis. Rooms may be reserved in advance by contacting the library staff. Group study rooms can accommodate up to four persons at a time. Please refer to the Group Study Room Policy for more information.

Library property and resources

Misuse or mistreatment of library property, equipment or resources will result in offenders being assessed the replacement cost for damaged property or resources and possible loss of all library privileges.

Attempted theft of library materials will result in criminal prosecution and loss of all library privileges.
