Food and beverages

We are all requiered to protect library collections, resources and devices from any kind of damage. To maintain an appropriate library environment, some limitations regarding food and beverages have been implemented.

All you need to know:

• covered beverages and small contained snacks are permitted in the Chillout Zone (ground floor),
• do not bring in greasy, sticky, crumbly or aromatic food,
• dispose of food and drink containers in recycle bins,
• no food is permitted next to the computers and in the Reading Room.

unit 2

Cell phones

librarians when noone is watching

Ssshhhhh... This is a library! Studying is much more effective when you are focused, so after you enter the library:

• turn your cell phone off or set it to vibrate mode,
• if you need to make a phone call, leave the study area,
• make sure that you don't bother other students.

If you notice that someone is breaking these rules, let librarians know about it.
