Disturbance Policy


An environment conducive to quiet study and research can occur only with the cooperation and support of all students. Social actvities should take place in other campus facilities or off campus, not in the library. Accordingly, persons determined by the library staff to be disruptive to a quiet study atmosphere may expect to be asked, and are required, to remove themselves from the library immediately.

Loud conversations among library users will also not be allowed, and the library staff may have no other recourse than to ask said patrons to leave the premises. This includes cellphone users.

Among the actions which will result in disciplinary, or legal action, are disorderly conduct, abusive language, or threats toward library staff or other users of the libraries.


Questions regarding public service policies should be directed to Dawn Smith, Assistant Director of Public Services.
