Food and Drink
We recognize that our users spend many hours in the William H. Hannon Library and may enjoy an occasional beverage or snack while studying. We appreciate your help in keeping the library clean, minimizing the risk of damage to books and equipment, and preventing undesirable insects and pests.
Drinks and small snacks are permitted in most areas of the library. Drinks must be in spill-proof containers, such as bottles with lids or travel mugs. Meals are not permitted in any part of the library. However, you are always welcome to eat meals and study in Jazzmans Café and the adjacent Media Lounge on Level 1.
Food and drink are not allowed in the department of Archives & Special Collections.
Examples of permitted food
granola bars, candy, bagels, dried fruit, and chips
Examples of prohibited food
pizza, fries, salads, ice cream, subs or other messy foods
Cleaning up
Please leave your study area clean for the next person. Please throw away bottles and containers and wipe up any spills (all restrooms have paper towels). Please alert library staff members for assistance.
Individuals not following these guidelines will be reminded of the policy and asked to take their food or drinks outside the library.
