Vending machines are located immediately off the Study Court on the 1st floor. These machines carry hot and cold drinks, snacks, sandwiches, and a few office supplies. A microwave is available for your use.

Coffee, soft drinks, bottled water, etc., may be brought into and consumed in the Library. Outside of the Study Court, however, beverages must be confined in spill-proof containers. (Styrofoam cups with a plastic cover purchased at a nearby fast-food restaurant do not qualify as spill proof; if you are in doubt about whether a container meets the Library's requirements, ask a Check Out Desk employee).

No alcoholic beverages are permitted. No beverages may be placed on or consumed within five feet of terminals, keyboards, copy machines or other mechanical devices. Patrons who cause damage by drinks spilled on terminals, keyboards, copy machines, etc. will be charged for any repairs or cleaning of this equipment.

Light snacks consisting of gum, fruit, small bags of cookies, candy or chips are permitted throughout the building. Pizzas, tacos, french fries, chicken and other such substantial (and potentially messy) food items should be eaten in the Study Court and not carried through the Library. Please clean up your mess and place all refuse in appropriate containers. Although snacks and beverages are permitted in the Library, please be considerate of other patrons, Library materials and equipment.
