Policy on Collection Drives in the Davis Library Entry Area

The Library makes the Davis Library entry area available to campus groups taking up collections of goods for various causes. The following policy is intended to ensure equitable use of the entry, while also maintaining the safety and orderly appearance of the area.

• Only groups with official University recognition through the Carolina Union may use the Davis Library entry area to solicit donations.
  
  
• Collections must be made using the Library-provided container. Collecting groups should provide an identifying sign during the collection period.
  
  
• Only one group at a time may conduct a collection drive in the Davis Library entry area.
  
  
• A group may reserve the collection box once per year, and for a maximum period of two months. Requests will be considered on a first-come/first-serve basis. If the entry area has not been reserved by another group, collection may continue until a new request has been received and approved.
  
  
• The collection box should be emptied whenever it is full, and no less than once per week. Collected items should not be placed on the floor or elsewhere in the Library entry area, or be allowed to overflow the collection box.
  
  
• The Davis Library entry may not be used for the collection of live or perishable items.
  
  
• The Library is not responsible for items left in the collection box.
  
  
• Organizations whose collection activities do not conform to the above policy may be asked to discontinue their collection in the Davis Library entry area.
