We recognize that people often spend many hours in the library and may get hungry or thirsty. Vending machines can be found in the café and water fountains are available on all floors.
Food and beverages are permitted in all areas of the library except for in Archives and Special Collections, and around those materials if they are being used outside of those areas.
We need your help in keeping the library clean and comfortable for all. Be responsible in your choice of foods and beverages and clean up after yourself. Please take anything that is especially messy or has a strong smell into the café. Exceptions will be made for events being hosted in the building.
Clean it up/throw it away/recycle it: wipe up accidents, throw away or recycle your food containers and bottles. Trash and recycling containers are available throughout the library; please pick up after yourself.
Tell a library staff member immediately if there is an accident so we can ensure that damaged materials, furniture, and carpeting are properly treated and there is appropriate clean-up.
