Hooray for the slightly Relaxed Food Policy in the Library!
Spend a moment reading and reflecting on the current Library Policies and Procedures. Highlights...
- Dry food and covered beverages OK! Please discard any refuse in the numerous waste bins.
- Use headphones. Don't use device speakers of any kind or speak on the phone in the library.
- Speak quietly in small or large groups.
- Return furniture and supplies to their place.
