FIT
Library Food & Drink Policy

food and drink, including water and candy, in the
Library.
Individuals drinking beverages/or eating in the
Library will be asked to:
• dispose of the item(s) immediately in trash receptacles.

eating alcove, or leave the Library immediately.
• In the event of food and/or drink damage to
