Only bring approved food and drinks in containers with tight-fitting lids into the Library! Food and liquids attract insects and rodents that can eat books' paper, cloth, leather and glues. Infestations of insects that damage paper-based collections are extremely hard to eliminate and are almost inevitable in a situation where food and drink and their remains (food wrappers, containers, crumbs, etc.) are a constant presence in book areas. After eating, some food molecules remain on your hands and transfer to the furniture, equipment, and library materials you handle, attracting pests. Liquids are easily spilled on materials, causing staining, mold, and other water damage. Protect your library by observing this important policy. Wash your hands after eating, clean up your work area and throw any wrappers, soda bottles, crumbs, etc. into the trash.
On request, minor repairs of damaged books, videos or microfilm can be done in-house to allow them to go out within 24 hours. Contact or visit the Preservation Department in the Kelvin Smith Library, LL-23.
