Updated Food & Drink Policy
We’ve refreshed our food and drink guidelines:
What’s New
  • Food is now allowed in both the Nash Reading Room (3rd Floor) and the Bernsen Reading Room (1st Floor).
  • Food is not permitted in other public areas (study rooms, reading rooms, or other Library spaces).
What’s the Same
  • Drinks are welcome everywhere when in re-closable, spill-proof containers.
  • Other campus dining spots include the Student Lounge (1st Floor), Cafeteria (4th Floor), and the Courtyard.

Chairs & Standing Desks
To make your study spaces more comfortable and flexible, we’ve added and upgraded furniture in the Library:
  • Standing Desks: New standing desks are now available in the Subin Reading Room (3rd Floor), a designated quiet study space.
  • Ergonomic Rolling Chairs: 150 new chairs have been ordered to replace older and less comfortable chairs throughout the Library. They are expected to arrive in September. Most of the chairs being replaced are currently located in the cellar. To make it easier for us to roll in the new chairs when they arrive, please avoid moving chairs between library spaces.
