Patrons are expected to behave in a safe and respectful manner toward library staff, fellow researchers, and library resources. Patrons are expected not to behave in a manner that is disruptive to library staff or fellow researchers.

In most cases, patrons found to be in violation of library policy will be given one warning. If they fail to correct their behavior, they will be asked to leave the library. The library reserves the right to ask patrons to leave immediately if library staff deems a patron’s behavior to be potentially disruptive.
