• No Regular Classroom Meeting Space: Rooms are not available for extended scheduling or for regularly repeating class sessions. Rooms may be requested by instructors on occasion to support a special class need, i.e. larger lecture space or access to multimedia equipment.
• Noise: Since library users are studying throughout the building, we reserve the right to refuse any request based on our impression of the likely noise level expected from the event.
• Monetary Gain: No library facility may be used for commercial/sales events or by for-profit organizations. No admission fee may be charged, nor donation requested for any activity taking place in the libraries.

Furnishings shall not be removed or added to any room without the Library’s knowledge and participation.
