Food and Drink Policy

Food and drinks can be a problem for the Library because:

• They encourage rats, mice and cockroaches
• They can damage books and computers
• Spills may stain furniture and carpet
• Wrappers and containers leave a mess
• Smells can be offensive to others

We permit bottled drinks and snack foods throughout the library except Special Collections. Please be considerate and clean up after yourself using the bins provided.	Hot or messy foods are not permitted anywhere in the Library. Cans and hot drinks are permitted only in the Student Discussion area on Level 3 North of the Barr Smith Library.

The University Librarian reserves the right to determine which food and drink items are acceptable.

Please report any offensive behaviour to a member of Library Staff, or phone 8303 5759

We thank you for your cooperation.
