[aisle] Food in the library?

[Mitchell Berman]

I am in a K-5 school and while food is not a common thing like in a middle
or high school, sometimes classes come in here after their snack time and
they bring it into the library. I tell my students, no eating in the
library, especially around the books. So far, we have not had any real
issues arise, thankfully!
