Policies

Consumption of Food & Beverages

• Certain food and drink items are allowed in the library and library annex if consumed responsibly. Patrons are expected to clean up after themselves, discarding trash in appropriate containers and notifying staff immediately of any spills.
• Food is limited to snack or wrapped items which are consumed individually. No group meals, fast food, or open plates of food are allowed.
• Drinks are limited to those in closed containers such as covered cups, soda cans, or water bottles.
• No alcoholic beverages are permitted in the library.

Quiet Policy

Patrons of the library are expected to:

• Keep all conversations to a minimum and use a hushed voice.
• Silence cell phone ringers and not make or take calls within the library.
• Conduct social conversations outside of the library.
• Keep the music down - even when using headphones.
• Talk quietly when using a study room as the walls are not sound proof and voices do carry.
• Self-police noise levels as much as possible. Patrons should ask others who are being disruptive to quiet down. If disruptive patrons do not stop patrons should let a library staff member know.

Personal Possessions

• Do not leave personal belongings unattended. The library is not responsible for any lost or stolen personal items. The patron should notify UHA Public Safety of all thefts by calling (518) 244-3177.

Treatment of Library Materials & Equipment

• All library materials and equipment should be handled with care. The patron using them will be held responsible for any damage that occurs during their use. Patrons should notify someone on the library staff if something is broken or damaged.

George Lewis

George C. Lewis (1908-1982), Class of 1928, spent 25 years in pharmacy before embarking on a second career as a stock broker. Committed to his alma mater and original profession, Mr. Lewis was known for his unstinting support of ACPHS, both as a longtime trustee and an active member of the alumni association. In 1999 Mrs. Leona Lewis (1908-2003) presented the College with a gift that at the time was the largest in the school's history, paving the way for the library's renovation, expansion and technological upgrades. The expanded facility, on the second floor of the O'Brien Building, re-opened as the George and Leona Lewis Library in 2000. In 2010 the Albany library relocated to the former Classroom Building and retained the name, the George and Leona Lewis Library.
