Hewes Library Use Policy

Welcome to Monmouth College's Hewes Library. Our purpose is to support the research and scholarship of Monmouth College students, staff and faculty. We also welcome adult researchers who are not affiliated with the College and offer access for adult members of the general public as a U.S. Government Federal Depository.

This library use policy has been created to protect the rights and safety of all library patrons and for preserving and protecting the library’s materials, equipment, facility and grounds for current and future generations.

In order to accomplish our mission, we ask that all patrons respect the following use guidelines:

• Noise levels should be kept to a minimum.
• No tobacco of any kind is permitted on the premises.
• All cell phone activity should be limited to the entryways. Ringers should be shut off while using the library.
• All food and drink should be confined designated eating and/or drinking areas. Full food/drink policy.
• Any person under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 21.
• Use of Internet resources (which are unfiltered) must correspond to the Campus Internet Use policy.
• Proper identification must be shown when requested by library staff.

Library staff reserve the right to ask any library user in violation of these guidelines or engaged in any disruptive behavior to leave the premises.
