Food, Drink, and Tobacco Products Policies

The NCSU Libraries is responsible for preserving collections, equipment, and furnishings for both current and future users. At the same time, the Libraries wants to offer a comfortable environment. These policies attempt to achieve a balance that meets both needs.

The smoking and/or chewing of tobacco products are not allowed in library buildings.

Food may not be brought into the library by patrons. Food is allowed only in the vicinity of vending machines in clearly designated areas, such as lounges, or in conjunction with events sponsored by the Libraries.

Covered drinks are permitted in many areas of the building; all drink containers must be securely covered while in transit. Spill-resistant containers such as travel mugs are recommended.

Drinks are not permitted in auditoriums or in areas that house unique collections or equipment.

In D. H. Hill, drinks are not permitted in the following areas:

Assistive Technologies Center
Erdahl-Cloyd Theater
Graduate Student Computer Room
ITTC Labs
Media Center
Microforms Center
Mini-Theater
Photocopier areas
Publicly accessible computer workstations and printstations
Special Collections/Archives
Unity Lab

People who violate these policies will be asked to dispose of their food or drink, or to leave the building to consume the food or drink.
