The Linda Hall Library is committed to providing excellent service and an environment conducive to study and research. To that end:

All visitors shall:

• Be responsible for all uses of their Library cards; promptly report a lost or stolen card
• Treat Library materials, equipment, grounds, other visitors, and Library staff with respect
• Permit Library staff to inspect all briefcases, packs, handbags, parcels, books, and other materials when leaving the building

All visitors shall refrain from:

• Bringing food into the Library; beverages are permitted in closed-top containers only
• Smoking in the Library and on library grounds
• Leaving children unattended
• Bringing pets into the Library; service animals are permitted

Failure to comply with Library rules may result in loss of Library privileges. Patrons checking out Library materials are responsible for charges if items are damaged or lost and must be replaced.
