Saint Peter's College Libraries Food & Drink Policy

 

The Library staff recognizes the desire to bring refreshments into the library. If you do please consider the following points:

 

Beverages should be covered at all times. Use extra care around the library’s electronic equipment.

 

Some foods are harder to consume “on the go” than others. Try to pick food items that are “dry” such as chips, cold cut sandwiches, cookies or candy bars.

 

Limit the amount of food brought into the Library. Items for a quick “pick me up” are OK. Full meals should be consumed in one of the appropriate dining areas on campus.

 

Be considerate when eating around fellow students. Some people prefer not to be around others who are eating. Avoid strong smelling items that others may find offensive.

 

Use discretion in picking a location to eat. Ideally the study area on the ground (lower) level is the best place to meet friends and to have quick refreshments. 

 

Remember to clean up after you are finished. Waste and recycling bins are located in various locations in the building for proper disposal of food and containers. Simple courteousness on the part of everyone will help keep the Library litter free.

 

The Library staff may ask you to refrain from eating and drinking anywhere in the building if the above suggestions are not being followed. Such requests should not be taken personally. The staff is only trying to keep the Library environment pleasant and safe for everyone’s use.
