Visitors to the library cannot bring containers of outside food into library buildings. Small packs of snacks, bottled water and beverages in cups with lids are allowed in study areas—not in computer areas.

These rules are statements of existing policies as adopted by the Birmingham Public Library Board. Any violation of these rules could result in expulsion from the library. Library employees have been authorized by the Board to enforce these rules.

Adopted by the Birmingham Public Library Board on April 28, 2016.
