Be a Good Library User

  • You must properly borrow items from the library. Do not take books without checking them out.
  • You must return books on time, not keep them until after an exam. Others need to study too.
  • If you need to talk, please use the student lounge or café area. Keep the library quiet and peaceful at all times.
  • Treat the library and materials with care. Do not leave your trash for others.
  • Be considerate. Seating is for those already in the library. Please do not reserve seats or take up lots of space that could be used by someone else.
  • Keep your belongings with you. The library is not responsible if you lose expensive personal belongings.

Be a thoughtful student and remember library resources are meant to be shared
