Library Policies

Library Standards of Behavior

In addition to the Standards of Student Conduct outlined in the Student Handbook, library patrons are expected to adhere to the following rules:

• Drinks should be in containers with lids. Food is limited to items that are small and contained (a bag of chips, for example) and not disruptive to other patrons. Any food items allowed on Fletcher property but not inside the library can be consumed at the tables outside the library. All trash should be disposed of properly.
• Noise should be kept at a reasonable level. Conversation is not restricted, but should not disturb other patrons. Music and/or videos should be played through headphones at a reasonable level. Phone calls should take place outside of the library. Disruptive patrons may be asked to leave the library.
• Animals are not allowed unless they are service animals.
• Library patrons are responsible for their personal belongings. Items left unattended by a patron cannot be watched by library staff.
• Children are welcome in the library, but must be accompanied by an adult. Children are accountable to the same noise restrictions as other patrons. Adults with disruptive children may be asked to leave the library.
