Food and Drink
Drinks in covered spill-proof containers and foods that won't disturb others or leave a residue are acceptable. Quick snacks are fine, but all warm food needs to be eaten outside of the library.
* Due to ongoing construction at the Coquitlam campus which has created a disturbance in the exterior mouse population, absolutely no food is allowed in that library for the time being.
Lost and Found
Any personal items we find in the library are immediately taken to the Security booth.
