[OPLINLIST] Food and Drink

[Jennifer Joseph]

Hello from New Castle, PA! I hope I can contribute, even though we're not in
Ohio (but we're super close!)

 

We too recently loosened our food and beverage rules.  Our new policy is as
follows; feel free to use it or adapt it for your own use.

Hello all!

I am interested in your "food and drink" policies for your libraries. We
want to loosen our "rules" and would like some input first.

Best!

Susan
