Mission & Policies

Cell Phone Policy

In order to create an environment conducive to reading, study, research, and quiet collaboration the Morse Institute Library limits the audible use of cell phones in the library. We understand that cell phones are a vital component of communication and information gathering. We ask only that you be considerate and respectful of others by following the guidelines below:

  • Please put your phone on vibrate or silence when in the library.

  • Limit your calls to brief, quiet conversations so that others will not be disturbed.

  • Refrain from using phones at the public service desks and during library programs.

If you are disturbed by in-library cell phone use, please notify a library staff member at the nearest service desk. Users who repeatedly disturb others with their cell phone use may be asked to leave the library.
