Code of Conduct

The Library discourages any type of behavior that infringes on a library user’s expectation for a quiet and safe environment conducive to reading, studying and concentration. Generally speaking, individuals will not engage in any behavior that denies other users this courtesy. The Code of Conduct also assumes that all illegal activities at any library facility are prohibited.

Specific behaviors that are discouraged include, but are not restricted to:

  1. No food or drink will be brought into the library, with the exception of bottled water or pre-approved meeting room refreshments.
  2. Skateboards, bookbags and other personal items must not obstruct pathways or deny others from using library seating areas.
  3. Radios, computer laptops, audiocassette, DVD, MP3 and CD players, must be operated with headphones and at a volume level that does not disturb others.
  4. The maximum number of persons sharing a study table is four.
  5. Loud talking, laughing, jostling or other disruptive behavior must not interfere with other people’s ability to concentrate.
  6. Library furniture will not be moved or rearranged.
  7. The use of cell phones inside the Library is prohibited. Any member of the public engaging in conversation using a cell phone will be asked to do so outside.
  8. Laptops are permitted so long as they do not disturb or cause injury to others.
  9. Public restrooms will not be used for bathing, shaving, or washing of clothes.

The Library kindly requests the cooperation of its users in enforcing these rules. However, in the event that an individual continues to engage in unacceptable behavior after being informed of this policy, that person will be asked to leave the premises immediately. The Library Director has been authorized by the Library Board of Trustees to revoke library privileges, cards and access to the Library for a period to be determined by the director. The Fullerton Police Department may be called upon to assist in the enforcement of this policy.
