The library does, however, provide the general public with defined access to its collections, facilities, staff and services.
In order to provide a safe, secure, and welcoming atmosphere within the library, the following are prohibited. Failure to comply with these policies may result in expulsion from the library; Campus Safety or the Salem Police will be notified when necessary and appropriate.
