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:
