Laptop policy
We love being a space that inspires creativity. However, we are also a busy retail and social space. We therefore limit laptop use to our downstairs Book Cellar and ask that laptop users only use laptops on weekdays before 6pm. We do not allow laptop use over the weekend. Feel free to bring your own book, notebooks and pens any time.
