We have seating with windows, as well as more enclosed areas deep in the interior for those who dislike the temptation of outside distractions. Please be sure to use the designated talking areas for conversation or cell phone calls. All three lobbies have comfortable chairs where you can speak in some privacy. On the seventh floor, there is also the talking lounge, in the back left corner as you ascend the stairs or exit the interior elevator. You are allowed to bring drinks into the library as long as they are in a plastic, spillproof container.
Examples are travel mugs with lids and sport bottles.
No drinks of any kind are allowed in any of the computer labs. With the cafeteria conveniently located on the fourth floor, you should take snack and dinner breaks there. I hope you understand that we are trying to safeguard books, computers, carrels and carpets while at the same time being supportive of your need for coffee and soda as you study for exams.
