It’s important to be mindful of those around you. Please engage in appropriate topics of conversation, and be aware of the language you’re using during your visit.
Respect personal space
Hitting, kicking, and other aggressive behavior are not allowed in our library
Remember to show kindness
Please refrain from talking negatively about your peers, and expect the same behavior from others.
Make suggestions
If you’ve read something wonderful and see that we don’t own it, or have a great idea for a program, we’d like to hear about it. We value your ideas.
Remember you’re indoors
No need to shout to be heard. If a friend is outside hearing range, walk to where they are rather than raising your voice.
You’re responsible for your personal belongings
Backpacks, laptops, instruments, and other personal belongings should not be left unattended in the library. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Leave a clean space
After school food and beverage privileges have been suspended for the remainder of the school year. If you bring snacks or drinks to enjoy outside, it remains your responsibility to see that all bottles and packaging make it into the trash/recycling.
Responsible behavior is expected at the library the same way it is expected in any other public space.
