Use of Space Policies

The Library depends on every Oliner's help to keep it accessible and usable for everyone. Leave every space at least as clean as you found it.

Our policies exist to keep the Library functional and fair for everyone. We're happy to explain the reasoning behind any of them. Questions and suggestions are always welcome at library@olin.edu.

General Cleanup Expectations

  • Leave all tabletops, floors, and whiteboards clean and cleared for the next person.

  • Report issues, broken items or restock needs by emailing library@olin.edu. The Library submits facilities work orders directly, which helps us respond faster.

  • Massive stains/spills can happen - please tell us ASAP. We are not a punitive Library, and will appreciate you telling us promptly.

  • Reset any moved furniture to its original location. Consult posted furniture maps for reference.
