Building Policies

The library has developed the following policies and asks for your cooperation in adhering to them, as a courtesy to library patrons and employees.

Food & Beverage Policy

Beverages and food are allowed in the library. We ask that you be respectful of the space and others who are using the library. You may be asked to move to the bridge if your meal is disruptive is to others.  

Please dispose of your trash in the appropriate receptacles.  

If you spill a drink, please alert the library staff at the Library Services Desk so it can be cleaned up as quickly as possible. 

Cell Phones

Please turn phone ringers off or set to vibrate as you enter the library.

• Please make phone calls only from the 2nd floor bridge or the outer lobby of Raynor.
• When receiving an incoming call, please move to the 2nd floor bridge or the outer lobby of Raynor.
• Please avoid using your phone in locations designated as Quiet Study.

Forgotten IDs

ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵstudents without a valid ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵID will be allowed admittance into the Raynor Library for three days per semester. Students who reach their three day visit limit will not be allowed into the library without their ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵID.

ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵstudents are required to carry their MUID with them to enter buildings (link to MU policy). Raynor Library will allow students to enter the library 3 times per semester without their ID. After 3 days, students will be required to retrieve their ID or buy a new ID before being allowed access to the library.

Lockers

Lockers are available for patron use for 25 cents. They are located on the first floor in recessed alcove on the south side of the wall behind the Library Services Desk.

To use the lockers: Place items inside locker, close door, insert 25-cent coin, and remove key. The coin is not returned when the door is re-opened; to continue use of a locker, another quarter must be inserted.

Locker users are advised that food and beverages may not be stored in the lockers and library materials should be checked out before storing. To ensure compliance, Raynor staff may search through the lockers. For the security of future users, a lost key fee of $50 will be assessed to replace both key and lock mechanism. Lockers are maintained by the Raynor Library Services Desk staff. Questions should be directed to that desk or by calling (414) 288-7555.

Noise

The library includes spaces for both quiet and active study. In active spaces, voices should still be kept at a reasonable volume. If you are getting too loud, you may be asked to be quieter or move to a different space.

Quiet Study Areas

Patrons needing a quiet study environment may use designated quiet study areas in Raynor--Level 2 just east of the bridge--or look for quiet areas in Lemonis. There are six floors in Lemonis with tables and study carrels scattered throughout. While there are some areas designated for quiet study (Levels 1, 4, and 5), you'll find that a number of areas are well-suited for that purpose. For further information about finding your way around Lemonis, please talk to a library staff member.

Student Postings

Organizations wishing to publicize their activities may place flyers and announcements on the bulletin boards in the Raynor entrance to the Bridge (2nd level). Student groups may also request permission to place a poster on easel (one week max.) in the Bridge by contacting Elisa Coghlan in the dean's office.
