The Library has recently received a number of requests from student groups interested in setting up displays and/or sales in the Stauffer Library loggia (lobby).
With the exception of Union Gallery displays, AMS and SGPS polling and election booths, and the DREAM Live-In for Literacy event, the loggia is unavailable for booking under the policy on Use and Booking of Stauffer Library Rooms.
Ticket and retails sales are considered “solicitation,” which is expressly prohibited by the Code of Behaviour for Library Users.
These policies are intended to ensure accessibility to the library and to maintain a welcoming academic environment conducive to study. Student clubs and groups seeking to set up displays and sales are encouraged to make use of locations on campus designated for these activities, including the JDUC and MacCorry.
For further information on promoting events or services in Stauffer, please see:
Due to the annual closure of Botterell Hall for necessary building maintenance, Bracken Library will be closed Saturday Oct. 17th and Sunday Oct. 18th. See the library hours.
