Pilot project tests food, drink privileges in Library West

May 14, 2007

Library West is introducing a pilot project during the summer sessions that allows patrons to bring in snacks such as granola bars, chips, crackers, cookies, candy and nuts, along with small fruits and vegetables throughout the building.

Current library policy permits all food to be consumed only in the study area across from Starbucks.

Hot entrées, salads, pizza, soup and hot, messy or odorous items must still be consumed outside or in the study area across from Starbucks. Food may not to be delivered to the libraries.

Covered drinks continue to be permitted throughout the building.

Survey forms are available in Library West for patron feedback on the new pilot policy. At the end of the summer it will be determined if the policy will continue into the fall.
