Where are the bathrooms?
Take the spiral staircase outside the library, up or down one floor,
you'll find restrooms down the hall to your left.
Where is the nearest payphone/campus phone?
The nearest payphone and campus phone are on east side of the second floor of VLSB, between room 2050 and the courtyard.
Where is the nearest drinking fountain and/or vending machine?
There is a drinking fountain in the hallway just outside the library to the
south next to the elevators. It is Library Policy to ask PATRONS who bring
FOOD or DRINK into the library to take their bags and LEAVE the library. Food
and drink stain the carpet and attract bugs, which leads to damaged books.
For food and beverage machines go downstairs to the first floor. The juice,
candy, and soda machines are located next to the building elevator on the
west side (the library side) of the building.
