I believe the library is for student and staff use. I encourage everyone to visit the library to check out books, use computers, work on homework and projects, or relax.
In order to maintain our ability to provide free and confidential access to print and digital resources for personal interest or curricular needs and in-person and/or online guidance in evaluating and using information for academic and personal use.
Please see below for visiting policies, library etiquette, and resource use policies.
LIBRARY ETIQUETTE:
- Work quietly and be respectful of the other library patrons
- Handle materials with care to keep our collection diverse and useable. Please do not eat and drink in the library to prevent accidental spills and crumbs.
- Leave your area clean and return any chairs or materials to their proper place. Materials should returned at the circulation desk or in the designated boxes if you are not checking them out.
- If you do not know how to use something, please ask for assistance. If something seems to not be working, please notify the librarian so it may be fixed.
