Food and Drink Policy for Anschutz and Watson Libraries

Note:  Other libraries in the KU system may set more restrictive policies for users and staff.

Library Staff members are responsible for maintaining collections, equipment, and furnishing for both current and future users.  We also strive to provide a neat and comfortable research and study environment.  This policy attempts to achieve a balance between these needs.

What’s allowed?  What’s not allowed?

Avoid consuming food and drinks while using library collections (books, journals, microforms) that you check out from the library.

Food and drinks purchased at the Hawk Food Stop in Anschutz or Watson or carried into one of these libraries may be consumed away from library collections, computers, and equipment.

Dispose of all trash in appropriate containers so that a clean environment can be maintained.  Report any spills you cannot effectively clean up to library staff so that appropriate action can be taken.

No food deliveries are allowed to the libraries.

See Care and Handling of Library Materials for additional information.
