The St. John’s University Libraries strive to create an
environment conducive to reading, study, research, consultation,
and quiet collaboration. All library patrons and employees are
expected to respect their fellow library users, as indicated in the
Library Code of Conduct.
Certain food and drink items are allowed in specific areas of
the Queens Library, if consumed responsibly. Patrons are
expected to clean up after themselves, discarding trash and
recyclables in appropriate containers and notify staff immediately
of any spills.
