In order to insure a scholarly environment for the Library's clientele, we do not allow behavior that is incompatible with the use of the Library by its patrons or staff.

The HS/HSL prohibits the following conduct on its premises. Behaviors not permitted include, but are not limited to:

  • using radios, walkmans, computers, or other sound-generating devices at volumes that can be heard by others;
  • making disruptive noise;
  • using threatening, intimidating or abusive language;
  • abusing, intimidating or sexually harassing others;
  • fighting or other rowdy behavior;
  • smoking or the consumption of any tobacco product (including chewing tobacco and snuff);
  • entering areas of the library marked "Staff Only";
  • refusing to leave the Library when the building is closed;
  • entering or leaving the Library through unauthorized exit doors, except during an emergency;
  • damaging or using furnishings or equipment inappropriately;
  • using library staff equipment (including telephones, computers, printers).

Failure to comply with these guidelines, when inappropriate behavior is brought to your attention, may result in our requesting you to leave the Library premises immediately.
