Food and Drink Policies

Beverages in closed containers are permitted in most of the library, with one exception. In order to protect the equipment in the computer labs, Georgetown Law asks that you not bring drinks into any of the computer labs.

The library maintains two soft drink machines in the Williams Building, one in the 1st floor canteen and another in the 3rd floor copy room.

Georgetown Law Library patrons may eat snacks in both the Williams and Wolff library locations. The following policy and associated rules will limit food consumption to best meet the needs of all patrons.

1. Patrons may eat cold foods, such as fruit, nuts, candy bars, and crackers in most areas of the library (Williams and Wolff). Meals and hot foods, such as pizza, burgers, and soup, will not be permitted.
2. Food will not be permitted in the 2nd floor of Williams (with the exception of the lobby and atrium), Special Collections & Archives, the Computer Learning Centers, and the Media Rooms.
3. Out of consideration for your colleagues and the library, please avoid foods that are odorous, noisy, or greasy.
4. Library users must take any uneaten food with them when they leave the library. Do not place food in the library's garbage cans, as this can cause rodent or insect infestation.
5. Drinks in closed containers continue to be welcome in the library. Should you spill a drink, please let one of the circulation desks know immediately so that custodial assistance can be called if needed. These desks also have some cleaning wipes if you need them.
6. For those who wish to bring in larger meals, the canteen (1st floor in Williams) is open to all students.

If you have any questions about this trial or about the library, please drop a note at the library's suggestion form.
