JOYNER LIBRARY POLICIES

Cell Phones and Pagers in the Library

Joyner Library is committed to providing a welcoming environment conducive to study. This policy was developed in response to concerns from students, faculty, and staff about the increased noise in the library due to cell phone and pager use.

Library patrons should turn ringers off or to a non-audible setting upon entering the library. Cell phone conversations should be brief and conducted in a low voice. If an extended conversation is necessary, please go to the pay telephone area or outside the building. Take your belongings with you if you move to make a phone call.

The library reserves the right to ask patrons to leave the building if they are disturbing others with their use of cell phones or pagers. In the case of a violation, library security will be notified.

Cell phone conversations are prohibited in the Music Library.

If you wish to report inappropriate cell phone or pager use, contact a library staff member at the nearest service desk.

Questions concerning this policy may be directed to the Associate Director for Administration & User Services at (252) 328-6514.
