The Charles & Gloria Jones Library is located inside the Teague Learning Commons. The Teague Learning Commons (TLC) was created to support and maintain an environment conducive to thought, research, and effective study groups. Come in and enjoy the natural light pouring through large windows, comfortable furniture, quiet spaces, small group study areas, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee from Bennee’s Bistro.

Students are permitted to bring food and beverages into the library. We ask that you that keep all beverages in covered containers and dispose of all trash when finished. Help us to maintain this atmosphere and to respect the needs of others.

Please be thoughtful of your fellow students and refrain from the following behavior:

• Deliberate misuse of materials or equipment that interferes with or prevents timely access to resources or equipment by other users or staff
• Disrupting behavior that is not conducive to study
• Violation of Lancaster Bible College policies, including policies on computer and network use, cell phone use, electronic communications, and harassment
• Vandalism, theft, or defacement of library materials or LBC property
