About Bailey Library

Bailey Library is committed to providing courteous, accurate, and efficient service to all customers. We invite you to take advantage of the many services and resources in the library. 

At the same time, we ask you to keep the following points in mind to help us provide a safe and welcoming environment:

• The 3rd floor is designated as a quiet study space. 
• Throughout the library, please use headphones to keep the noise level low.
• Remember that the content you are viewing on our computers may offend others. 
• Be careful with food and beverages. If spills occur, please let us know.
• While in the library, SRU students must observe the SRU Student Code of Conduct.
• Minors under the age of 16 are welcome but must be supervised by an adult. The library is not responsible for monitoring what information children under 16 may be using or viewing.
• Please do not leave personal items unattended. 
• Lost items can be sought out at the Circulation Desk. Please check there for more information..
• All tobacco products are prohibited in the library. Please read the SRU Smoking Policy. 

• Signs, flyers from any SRU sponsored event on campus will be posted.   Items should be presented at the circulation desk to the circulation supervisor, or at the main library office.   Signs will be dated to show approval and timeframe and will be posted on 2nd floor bulletin boards which are on both side walls of the main staircase landing.
• Due to space constraints and inability to determine accuracy, signs, or flyers from events not affiliated with the SRU community will not be posted in the library.

• Signs and flyers are not to be posted on walls, bathroom stall doors, or other areas of the library.  Table tents will be allowed only at the Circulation Desk and in the vending room area on those tables after approval is received.     Any unapproved signs, flyers or table tents found in other areas of the library will removed when found.

• Bailey Library welcomes minors when accompanied by a parent or adult caregiver.
• All materials and Internet access are unfiltered to meet the research and curricular needs of its primary users: the students, faculty, and staff of Slippery Rock University. 
• Children age 12 and under must be accompanied by someone age 18 or older.
• Library staff will contact the Slippery Rock University police to report an unsupervised minor.
• Exceptions for children participating in school or university-sponsored programs and activities may be made.
• An eligible child may obtain a Bailey Library card to check out books, provided a parent or guardian completes the application available at the Circulation Desk.
• Children under age 18 who wish to receive authorization for internet access must have the permission of the adult who accompanies them and follow procedures for gaining internet access at the Circulation Desk.
