Cell Phone Use in the Laupus Library
Policy: Use of cell phones in open areas of the library should be kept to a minimum. While in open areas of the library, such as the reference floor, cell phone ringers should be turned to a level where they cannot be heard by others, and conversations should be brief and respectful of others.
Rationale: To reduce noise interruptions, protect the confidentiality of personal and professional communications and maintain an atmosphere conducive to research.
Food and Drink
Policy: Drinks are permitted in approved containers in all public areas of the Library except the computer lab, reference floor public workstations, and public terminals. Approved containers include plastic/glass bottles with resealable caps, spillproof containers, sports bottles, and travel mugs. Unacceptable containers include paper cups, styrofoam cups, cans, open mugs or cups, and juice boxes. Consumption of food is not permitted in any public areas of the Library. Clients are responsible for taking all drink and food containers with them when they leave the Library. Food and unattended drinks in unapproved containers may be confiscated and discarded.
Rationale: The purpose of this policy is to control pests such as insects and rodents and to protect library materials, computing equipment, furniture and floor coverings from damage caused by spilled food and drinks.
