Only in the Canteen in the 1st Floor of the Williams Building

No food is allowed in the library, except in the Canteen on the 1st floor of the Williams Building. You can enter the Canteen by the Guard's Desk.

Beverages may be brought into the library provided they have a locking cap or lid.


In Wolff please consider taking your food to the second floor cafeteria to eat, and in Williams consider visiting the canteen (snack bar) located on the first floor where you can also purchase snacks. You get to the canteen by going down the stairs to the left of the guards desk at the main entrance in the Williams library.
