By: Library Administration

The Queens College Library has a long-standing “No Food” policy. Currently, Library users are bringing food into the Rosenthal Library, including sandwiches, salads, hot platters, etc., which results in increased insects & other pests and massive trash throughout the building – health hazards for everyone. We also see a deterioration of Library spaces and materials.

Thus, we are republicizing the Library’s “No Food” policy so that we can have a clean, healthy, and safe Library for everyone.

Food Policy: No Eating or Drinking

No food or drink is allowed in the Library by users, except water in re-sealable bottles. 

Library Administration reserves the right to accommodate food and drink for staff offices and scheduled events.

If you need to eat and drink while visiting the Rosenthal building, you can do so in the library café/lobby space prior to entering the Library proper.  If you bring food into the Library you will be directed to eat it outside in the library café/lobby.

Please help us to continue providing quality spaces, resources, and services to you by not bringing food into the Library.
