These policies were developed with the following goals in mind:
- To promote recycling of appropriate food and drink packaging.
- To preserve our library collections and protect our facility from pests and harmful molds.
- To help to ensure the health and safety of all library users and a long life for library collections, furnishings, and equipment.
- To respect our hard-working custodial staff by taking responsibility for our personal behavior.
- To allow us to direct library funds to purchasing library materials that support the curriculum, rather than to replacing resources, furnishings, and equipment damaged by food and drink.
Users need to partner with Library staff to assure that Ort Library remains clean and well maintained for everyone.
