To keep our library welcoming and productive for everyone, please follow these simple guidelines:
Different areas have different noise guidelines—some quiet, some for group work. Please respect these to help everyone focus.
Please put your phone on silent or vibrate. If you need to take a call, step outside or use designated areas.
When listening to music, videos, or lectures, use headphones and keep the volume low enough so it doesn’t bother others.
We encourage conversation and collaboration, but please keep your voice at a considerate volume so everyone can enjoy the space.
Help us keep the library neat by throwing away trash and tidying your area when you leave.
If you notice anything that needs attention or if you need help, just ask the library staff.
