Cell Phones
Phone conversations are restricted to the foyer and social area. Please put your phone on silent or vibrate when entering the library so as not to disturb other people.

Children
Rolfing Library welcomes children of all ages. However, for their safety and comfort as well as in recognition of the rights and privileges of other library patrons, parents are asked to observe the following:

• Any child under the age of 13 must be supervised by a parent or caregiver* at all times while inside the library. The Library does not act in loco parentis (in place of the parents) and staff cannot take responsibility for monitoring the safety or behavior of unattended children.
• If any child visiting the library experiences a problem and the parent or caregiver is not present in the building or cannot be reached by telephone, Campus Security will be contacted to take charge of the situation.
• Rolfing Library strives to provide an atmosphere conducive to study and research and children are expected to use the library in a quiet, orderly manner just as we expect from all patrons. Loud, noisy or disruptive behavior is inappropriate and children, as well as the responsible adult, will be asked to leave if this type of behavior persists.
• The Library is dedicated to providing all of our patrons with free and equal access to information. Parents who wish their children not to have access to certain types of materials should accompany their children to the library and monitor their use of its resources.

*A caregiver is defined as any individual 18 years of age or older who has been given the authority and responsibility to care for a child by the child's parent or legal guardian.
 

Family Room
A dedicated Family Room is located on the southeast side of the building (through the double doors near the checkout desk).

• This room is intended for adult library patrons who are accompanied by children, and priority will be given accordingly. If you are using this room without children, you may be asked to leave.
• Children must be accompanied and supervised by a caregiver at all times.
• While this is a child-friendly area, please be mindful that it is still located within the library, and volume should be kept at an appropriate level.
• This room should be left clean and orderly. Please place used books on the labeled return cart, and return toys and puzzles to their shelves.

Lactation Room
A dedicated lactation space is available for caregivers looking for a quiet place to feed their baby or pump in privacy. This space is located in the family room. Please alert the checkout desk if this room is in need of attention.

Closing Policy
At closing, all personal belongings left in the library will be placed in Lost and Found. Library materials will be reshelved. Closing procedures begin 20 minutes before stated closing times. At that time, materials to be checked out are to be brought to the Checkout Desk. Doors are locked promptly at stated closing times. 

Food and Drink
Food and drinks are allowed in Rolfing Library. Beverages are allowed in covered, spill-proof containers. It is the individual’s responsibility to throw away wrappers, containers, and other trash in trash receptacles. Report major spills to library staff immediately, so we can arrange for clean-up. In the event of damage from food or drink to library materials or equipment, costs may be assessed to the responsible patron.

All food and drink are restricted from the following areas:

Please be mindful of others, and do not leave food in the microwave once the cooking time has elapsed. Please clean any spills or mess created by your meal and alert library staff if further attention is needed.

Fridge
Rolfing library is not responsible for any items left in the fridge available for patron use. Please clean up any spills immediately, and make sure to close the door completely. All items will be cleared from the refrigerator on Saturdays. Non-disposable food containers left in the fridge will be disposed of after one week in the lost and found located next to the fridge.
