GROUPS AND THE LIBRARY Organizations and groups are reminded that Mullins Library is designed primarily for individual study. The congregation of groups disrupts the use of study areas by disturbing those properly using the facilities
and by denying access of use by others, and, therefore, is prohibited. Student organizations and their individual members are responsible for compliance with this regulation, and offending persons and groups are subject to disciplinary action.
