Himmelfarb 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, 1998, drinks are allowed in the Library ONLY in thermal spill-proof mugs. These thermal mugs do not sweat leaving condensation on the tables and do not tip easily. Individualized negotiations regarding acceptable versus not acceptable containers became too contentious to manage. Therefore, all other beverage containers found in the library will be collected and discarded. Mugs are available for purchase at the Circulation desk
  2. Food is allowed in modest quantities (e.g. sandwiches or snacks); users are asked to cleanup 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 (SMHS or SPHHS as appropriate) to explain their inability to follow posted regulations.
