Behavior

The library is a pleasant place to access resources, research, study, and relax. Because the library must accommodate all students and staff, we must maintain an atmosphere where behavior is governed by thoughtfulness and a cooperative attitude. It is important that you do not inconvenience, offend, or limit the rights of other patrons who want to access print and online materials, study and enjoy the facility.
Please be courteous and respectful of other library users, staff, equipment, and materials. Feel free to ask a librarian or library worker for assistance.   Feel free to browse the bookshelves, use a computer, or read a magazine or newspaper.

Disrespectful or disruptive student behavior may result in a suspension of library privileges for one week or more.  A second infraction will result in a level 1 Demerit.
