Young Library Food and Drink Policy

Young Library Food and Drink Policy

 

Young Library's goal is to create a comfortable work environment with excellent resources for students to access in order to succeed in their course requirements.  With that goal in mind, Young Library users may have small or wrapped snacks and lidded drinks in the library.  This will allow students to be comfortable while they study and also preserve the library resources for student use.

 

Food and drink consumption is not permitted while using any of the library computers or other technology.  Young Library does not allow food and drinks in the electronic classroom.

The library reserves the right to ask any user to remove his/her food and/or drink from the library if, in the judgement of the staff, it constitutes a violation of this policy.

 

Guidelines:

  • Snacks and covered drinks are permitted in most areas.  Meals or messy, noisy or strong-smelling foods are not permitted.
  • Deliveries of food to the Library are not permitted.  An exception is made for scheduled events taking place in the Library.  The library director must be notified of these events in advance.
  • Unattended food and/or drinks are subject to being thrown away by staff.
  • Clean up any spills right away - if additional help is needed, contact the library staff at the front desks.
  • Properly dispose of all food and trash.
