Guidelines

  • The library will provide a point-of-contact for each external room booking
  • Users are responsible for any and all damages, costs or expenses that came as a result of unauthorized activity or failure to adhere to the policy. The library, its staff, and agents are not liable for any loss, damage, or injury to the individual booking and/or members of its organization or group.
  • In the event of a fire alarm, users must leave the meeting room and exit the library.
  • All catering, sales, and solicitation requests must be arranged through Hospitality Services at the University of Guelph prior to the event. No outside catering service is permitted.
  • The user accepts full responsibility for ensuring that all Federal, Provincial, Municipal and University laws, by-laws, codes, and regulations are observed and complied with.

The library can provide portable generic directional signage stands upon request, at no extra cost. Signs must be professionally prepared to meet University of Guelph standards.
