The Queens College Library has a long-standing \u201cNo Food\u201d policy. Currently, Library users are bringing food into the Rosenthal Library, including sandwiches, salads, hot platters, etc., which results in increased insects & other pests and massive trash throughout the building \u2013 health hazards for everyone. We also see a deterioration of Library spaces and materials.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thus, we are republicizing the Library\u2019s \u201cNo Food\u201d policy so that we can have a clean, healthy, and safe Library for everyone.<\/p>\n

Food Policy: No Eating or Drinking<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No food or drink is allowed in the Library by users, except<\/em>\u202fwater in re-sealable bottles.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Library Administration reserves the right to accommodate food and drink for staff offices and scheduled events.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you need to eat and drink while visiting the Rosenthal building, you can do so in the library caf\u00e9\/lobby space prior to entering the Library proper.\u00a0 If you bring food into the Library you will be directed to eat it outside in the library caf\u00e9\/lobby.<\/p>\n

Please help us to continue providing quality spaces, resources, and services to you by not bringing food into the Library.<\/strong><\/p>\n
