Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff– Please do not bring your bag of snakes to the library. Thank you.

It (probably?) should go without saying that snakes and other pets are not allowed in the Durham Tech Library, but just in case you were wondering, based on a pretty popular news article going around lately, service animals must be approved as per college policy. Snakes are not approved service animals.
