In-Library Supplies
The Library provides specific consumable materials to support coursework and Olin’s unique, project-based curriculum. We consider requests for other exhaustible items, but generally only make purchases if there is an academic or other valid reason. Please ask!
In using these supplies, students are expected to leave workspaces as-clean-or-better upon leaving the Library. Cleaning materials (spray, erasers) are stocked throughout the Library. All scraps, post-its, etc., must be taken care of.
Library equipment (sewing machines, etc.) may be used for any reason, full stop.
Library supplies, such as ink and thread, should be used appropriately:
- Do not use Library materials to supply your personal business ventures. You may use reasonable amounts of consumable items.
- Passionate Pursuits: you are expected to use PP funds to supply your projects. You may use reasonable amounts of basic Library materials in your passionate pursuit.
If we notice uncommonly substantial use by a group or an individual, we may contact you to discuss your purpose in using our supplies.
