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!
Cleaning materials (spray, erasers) are stocked throughout the Library. All scraps, post-its, etc., must be disposed of or returned to the supplies station at the end of use.
Library equipment (sewing machines, etc.) requires training, may be used for any reason, full stop.
Library supplies should be used appropriately:
- Do not use Library materials to supply your personal business ventures. You may use reasonable amounts of consumable items for prototyping.
- 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.
