Reminders

Food

Please don’t eat anywhere in the library, including the top of the stairs. In wet weather the teachers on duty will open the lower B level classrooms for you to eat your lunch.

Beanbags

Beanbags are to be used for chatting, reading, and playing games. This area is designated as laptop-free, and beanbags should remain near our new shelving under the clock.
