Food and Drink Policy
boston college law library
We recognize that a comfortable study environment requires a food and drink policy that is not overly restrictive. We count on everyone to exercise cooperation and good judgment as we strive to maintain a clean and congenial environment for all of our users.
Food-Free Zone in Fourth Floor Quiet Area: The fourth floor Quiet Area (in the Campbell Wing) is a drinks-only zone.
DRINKS. All drink containers must have lids. "Pop-top" aluminum cans are also acceptable. ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE NOT ALLOWED.
FOOD. With the exception of the food-free zone, finger foods or snack foods may be consumed in the library, provided that they are not damaging to the collections and facilities (i.e. not sticky, greasy, drippy, messy, wet, etc.) or distracting to other users (i.e. not noisy, smelly, etc.)
