The Bankier Library of Brookdale Community College provides space and facilities for scholarship and research. We encourage anyone using the Library to report to the Library Staff any behavior that disrupts your scholarly use of the study areas or the Information Commons. Library staff has the right and the responsibility to enforce this policy. Anyone whose continued behavior violates this policy may be asked to leave the Library. Library staff may call Campus Police for assistance at any time.

Unacceptable Conducts include but are not limited to:

• loud or prolonged conversation, including cell phones and computer headsets. (For your own privacy and as a courtesy to others, use cell phones in the Courtyard or the lobby outside the Library.)
• excessive loud use of headphones
• abusive, intimidating language directed at another person
• harassment, stalking or voyeurism
• using roller blades, scooters or skateboards
• smoking anywhere in the building, including the Courtyard
• being in an unauthorized area of the Library
• remaining in the building when requested to leave during emergency situations or drills
• unauthorized use of equipment
• theft, damage or defacement of materials, equipment or property

Priority for Computer Use:

The computers in the Library are primarily for students and staff doing work related to Brookdale and Communiversity courses. If you are using a computer for other than collegiate work, you may be asked to relinquish computer usage to someone else.

Those who violate this Code of Conduct may be referred to the Director of Student Activities for disciplinary action under the Student Conduct Code or, where appropriate, to Campus Police.
