9. Consumption of food, except in designated areas;

Food is allowed in the meeting rooms and outside areas.  If you witness a patron eating elsewhere in the library, approach the patron and say, "Excuse me, but you probably didn't know that food isn't allowed inside the library."

This policy is one of the most broken policies we have,
and applies to staff as well. It is very important we set an example of how we want patrons to act. We can't expect patrons to know we have a no food policy if they see staff eating food!

Know this policy and be confident in enforcing it!
