[aisle] Food in the library?

[Gina Caneva]

Hi,
We don't allow food/drink in the library uness the drinks have caps.  We
are sticklers about it.  It was more of a problem my first year not this
year though.  We are pretty strict about it--1st time we nicely talk to the
kids, 2nd time I call home and/or usually send out, 3rd time I write up for
a discipline referral.  I wish we could have food in here, but we don't
have the staff (library or maintenance) for it, and I don't want myself or
my clerk to spend time cleaning up after it.
