Bottles or cups with lids and snacks in bags. Again they can lose privileges if there is a probplem with trash.

Thanks , Gretchen. When you say limited food, what rules of thumb or official rules do you use? We implemented a finger food/no hot lunch plan last year and it went alright. This year, though, it has become a problem. Due to losing staffing, we are not able to monitor it as closely.

We did for one semester, but thought better of it after finding food and trash everywhere. When we found moldy apples in the stacks during summer inventory, that was the end. We also had problems with vermin during a period of less than stellar custodial services. It was really hard to manage--in my opinion--so we went back to limited food in the library, no lunches. It took four years to break the habit, but it's been worth it. Now students come to the library after eating lunch.



I like it so much better.

Good Afternoon,

If you allow lunch students to eat in your library, or have in the past and reverted back to not allowing food, I am interested in hearing about your rules and experiences. Thank you in advance.
