The Kalamazoo College Library depends upon users to be responsible and keep library resources, equipment, and furnishings in good condition.

• Please clean up when you are finished. Report spills and ask for cleaning materials at the Circulation Desk.
• Drinks must be in spill-proof containers or in café cups with lids.
• Refrain from eating smelly, greasy, or noisy foods that might disturb others.
• Place recyclables in blue recycling bins and garbage in trash cans. 
• Catering or large group meals are not allowed in the Upjohn Library Commons except with permission of the Library Director.

The Archives and Rare Book Room are designated as “No Food and Drink” zones; no food or drink of any kind may be brought into these areas. 

Unsure about a food or drink item or container? Just ask us! The Book Club is the best place to eat food. Information Services staff may ask any user to remove their food or drink from the library if, in the judgment of the staff, it violates this policy. 

Sale or Distribution

Sale or distribution of food, drink, or other items that may interfere with the commerce of the Book Club Café is prohibited inside the Upjohn Library Commons building.
