UNLV Libraries Food and Drink Guidelines
In the interest of providing a comfortable and inviting study atmosphere
for our library users, the UNLV Libraries allow the consumption of snack
food and non-alcoholic beverages under prescribed conditions in their
buildings. To maximize the continuing value of the Libraries' collections,
equipment, and furnishings, we ask that you accept and adhere to the following
guidelines:
Please
consume your snack food and drink only in library study areas. (For
the purposes of this policy, foods such as chips, nuts, pretzels, and
cookies are considered snack foods -- pizza, burgers, fries, sandwiches,
salads, etc., are not.)
Please use sturdy, "spill-proof" containers to minimize damage
to the Libraries' resources and facilities.
Please dispose of any
food and drink-related trash in the covered trash baskets. Please
report any spills that may occur to Library staff immediately so that
the spill can be cleaned as quickly as possible.
Limitations:
- Eating
and drinking are not permitted at or near:
- computer workstations
- media equipment
- printers or photocopiers
- aisles and stacks where books are shelved
- Eating and drinking
are not permitted in Special Collections
- The delivery of food to the
library for library users is prohibited (Library-authorized deliveries
for sponsored events are not subject to this policy.)
- Branch libraries may establish food and drink policies appropriate
to their facilities, resources, and clientele -- check posted policies
to ensure compliance
It is our expectation that you will make every effort to accept
the responsibility that this new and more relaxed policy implies.
Your recognition and acceptance of the policy will minimize enforcement
conflicts and will make the Libraries more comfortable and productive
places for everyone. Such behavior will also ensure the full use and
enjoyment of our resources and facilities for all current and future
users. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
If you fail to follow this policy and its limitations,
you will be asked to conform or leave the library. Additional sanctions
may be imposed on repeat offenders.
