| Law Library users deserve a clean and quiet atmosphere. Therefore, food is prohibited in the library. Insects and rodents attracted by food pose a danger to the library collection and furniture. Noisy and odiferous food consumption also serves as a distraction to study and research.
Patrons may bring non-alcoholic drinks into the Law library but only in authorized "spill-proof" containers. Authorized containers have secure tops with small openings or closable slots.
Authorized containters: (examples only; staff may use their judgment)
Prohibited containers: (examples only; staff may use their judgment)
Inevitably, spills occur, even with spill-proof containers. Please take responsibility for any spills by reporting them to the Circulation Desk and obtaining supplies to clean up the spill.
All drinks (even in authorized containers) are prohibited near library computers and printers, and are prohibited in the RARE BOOK ROOM, SPECIAL SERVICES ROOM (Room 130), the COMPUTER LAB, and the PRINT LAB, and in the book stacks.
The Law Libray will review the rule permitting drinks in the Law Library on an annual basis and if significant problems arise by allowing drinks in the library, the Law Library will return to its old policy of prohibiting both food and drink. |
