[PADG:936] Food and Drink Policies

[Mary Ellen Weber <weber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a new preservation librarian, I've been concerned about the library's
food and drink policy (or lack there of) for the staff. Currently, the
staff, including the preservation staff, eat whenever and wherever they
want in the staff area -- not just at lunch time. We have a very nice
staff lounge, but sadly, it is used very little.  The culture of a place
will not change quickly, but something has to be done.  

I was wondering how other libraries have dealt with similar problems,
what policies you have in place, and how those policies work in
practice.  I'd appreciate hearing from you!

Thank you,

Mary Ellen Weber
