Himmelfarb Library Food & Drink Policy
The Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library, as one of the most
student-friendly libraries in the country, allows food and
drink in the library under the following guidelines which
are strictly enforced:
- Effective August 17, 1999, drinks are allowed in the
Library ONLY in one of two container types: A) thermal mugs
such as the official Himmelfarb Sip and Study Mug
or B) bottles with a pop-up closure. You will be asked
to remove all other types of beverage containers from the
Library. Please cooperate with Library staff. Individualized
negotiations regarding acceptable versus not acceptable
containers became too contentious to manage. Mugs are available
for purchase at the Circulation desk for a reasonable fee.
You may also stop by the Circulation desk for a free sticker
with the Himmelfarb logo to affix to your thermal mug or
approved water bottle. A poster featuring approved mugs
and bottles is available for your review at the Circulation
desk.
- Food is allowed in modest quantities (e.g. sandwiches
or snacks); users are asked to clean-up and place wrappers
in trash baskets. No food deliveries are allowed.
- No food or drink is allowed near any equipment or computer
workstation. This means no food or drink in the Bloedorn
AV Study Center or Microcomputer Lab or around the PCs on
the first floor of the Library.
- Students who do not comply with these regulations will
be directed to the Deans Office (SMHHS or SPHHS as
appropriate) to explain their inability to follow posted
regulations.
