<div dir="ltr">We allowed students to bring lunches in last year. For the first half of the school year, it was GREAT! Then 2nd semester we started noticing more left behind water bottles and wrappers, then spilled food, then entire trays were left behind on the tables or dumped (along with plates and silverware) into the trash.<div>So this year we have a pretty strict no food policy. Kids are allowed to bring in drinks with lids or caps.</div><div>We sell coffee in our library, which has been a really nice addition, and the money we make allows us to buy extra books. The quick and dirty: we have a Keurig; I purchase the supplies from Amazon as well as Sam's Club using library money; we charge $1 for plain coffee, $1.50 for hot chocolate, and $2 for the flavored cappucinos; money we make gets deposited back into the library account. For my own records I keep track of how much money goes back and forth from our account that is for/from coffee, just to make sure it's worth our while. :) My assistant and I make the coffee, but are rarely bombarded.</div><div>If anyone has any questions about our coffee bar, please feel free to e-mail me off list - <a href="mailto:foxc@unit5.org">foxc@unit5.org</a></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 10:56 AM Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">I am new at my school, trying to set up guidelines and protocol for high school students.
