  • Keep the library clean and Leave no Trace. Clean up your own trash. Trash cans and recycling bins are provided throughout the building. 

  • Promptly report spills or other mishaps you can’t immediately address. Call 423-439-4303, text 423-781-0863, or inform AskUs Desk staff, Sherrod Library, 1st floor. 

  • Meeting/Instruction Room reservations may include catered events. These require prior communications and discussion of details with the Sherrod Library Administration. (libadmin@etsu.edu). Those who made the reservations are responsible for post-event clean-up of the spaces: Trash & recycling in the appropriate receptacles and all remaining food/drink removed from the library. 

  • Apart from catered events, please meet your individual food deliveries outside the main entrance or in the 1st floor entry area.  Don’t have delivery staff trying to find you in the building.
