Food and drink policy
The library allows food and drinks in the library under the following guidelines:
- Beverage containers must have secure tops or lids (such as coffee cups with lids, twist top bottles, travel mugs).
- Food is limited to light snack or wrapped items. No group meals, fast food, or open plates of food are allowed.
- No greasy, sticky, crumbly, or smelly foods.
- No outside delivery of food is permitted.
- Clean up after any spills, or tell a library staff member immediately if there is an accident so that damaged materials can be properly treated and cleaned up.
- Dispose of food and drink containers in trash bins or recycling bins.
- No food or drink is allowed in the Mennonite Library & Archives.
- Library users may be asked to remove food or beverage containers if judged by library staff to pose a threat to library furnishing, equipment, or material.
Cell phone use policy
- When entering the library, please set cell phones and other electronic devices to silent or vibrate mode.
- Keep cell phone conversations to a minimum while in the library, and keep your voice at a low level. If you must have a lengthy phone conversation, please go outside the library to do so.
- Do not have phone conversations at computer or study stations, in the book stacks, or in areas where other library users are studying nearby.
- Anyone engaging in disruptive cell phone conversations in the library will be asked by library staff to move outside.
