Library Lab Guidelines
It's true: an academic library is different than your school or public library, with different kinds of collections, resources, and rules. Our students work hard so we ask that everyone -- even fellow students -- to please respect our students. Help them out by following these guidelines:
- Cell Phones
Allowed for texting. - Music
Allowed if inaudible to others. - Conversation
Allowed if you keep it down and don’t disturb others.* - Children
Allowed in the Library when accompanied by parent or guardian at all times, but children under 16 should not be in the Library Lab.
Good News for Parents
The good news is that COM now has a kid friendly place on campus in the administrative building with multiple computers where you can do what you need to do with a great area set up for kids!
