I was overjoyed when my library changed its policy on beverages. Somehow, a cup of hot tea makes a book even better.

We allow "covered" drinks. We had to ask a man who had a lovely steak dinner, a fork, steak knife and cloth napkin to please eat his meal outside.
We had lots of cake in the backroom that day...
I find it a bit depressing when patrons eat better than I do

We allow 'covered' drinks and turn a blind eye to snack food - but hot food, especially things like dimsims or hot chips, get asked to leave!

We're a public library, and while our patrons are allowed to have whatever food they want, for the most part. But we can't have any food at the desk. :(

As a librarian, you have the authority to flagrantly disobey your library's food and drink policy. Have pizzas delivered to the circulation desk, answer reference questions while gnawing on a fried chicken leg, and shelve books while eating cotton candy. No librarian should ever have to go hungry while vigilantly enforcing the library's prohibitions on bottled water.

Well, I'm reading this while eating my lunch at my desk so I guess that shows where I stand on the issue. =D

When I was in college, I never could get a reference librarian's help because they were always too busy eating lunch at their desks.

I can't see my keyboard for all the crumbs.
Don't forget chocolate, the lifeblood of Librarianism.
