Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library Food and 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Students who do not comply with these regulations will be directed to the Dean's Office (SMHHS or SPHHS as appropriate) to explain their inability to follow posted regulations.
