Library users and staff must maintain an environment that is safe, welcoming, suitable to study and enjoyable for all. This policy is for staff, volunteers and anyone using the library and its services.

- Light snacks and covered non-alcoholic beverages are permitted in most areas of the library.
- Personal electronic devices must be muted.
- Only authorized entrances, exits and library space may be used by the public.

Community Bulletin Boards
Where space permits, the library may provide a community bulletin board. Community groups or individuals requesting space are required to submit their material to the library for posting. Postings do not reflect the views of the library, nor is the library responsible for the reliability of information posted.
The library reserves the right to refuse postings and to determine the position of postings on the bulletin board. Dated or worn materials will be removed, and will not be returned.
Petitions, political campaigns, over-size posters or materials that violate the Human Rights Code, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom, or the Criminal Code of Canada will not be accepted.
Lost and Found
Non-perishable items left in and around library premises will be stored for one week. If left unclaimed, lost and found items will then become the property of the library and dealt with as the library deems appropriate.
