New policy alert: snacks + studying = approved!

We know reading (and studying) can work up an appetite, so we’ve updated our food policy and patron code of conduct:

✅ Covered drinks & small dry snacks are now allowed in the library!

❌ Just keep food away from the computers and Local History Room.

Think: water bottles, covered to-go cups, crackers, chips, granola bars = YES

But open mugs, uncovered cups, takeout meals, bowls of soup, sheet pizzas = NOPE

Thanks for helping us keep the library clean, cozy, and odor-free while you enjoy those study-time munchies!

This policy goes into effect on Wednesday, October 1, 2025
