Purpose

Seneca Libraries Food and Drink guidelines are intended to provide a comfortable and pleasant environment for all library users and to preserve our library materials, equipment, and furnishings.

Permissions

The library permits food and drink, within reason, in all areas of the library.

The following food and drink are permitted:

• Dry and/or cold snack foods that are non-odorous and can be consumed quietly (please be mindful of wrappers that disrupt others around you)
• Drinks in spill-proof containers

The following food and drink are prohibited:

• Hot foods, meals or fast food (i.e., pizza, soup, poutines, burgers, etc.)
• Non-spillproof containers (i.e., no lids)

It is the responsibility of all library users to adhere to the food and drink permissions and to clean up after themselves.

• Spills or accidents should be reported immediately to library staff either in person or via seneca.libanswers.com.
• Library users must dispose of their trash in the appropriate garbage and recycling containers.

Library staff reserve the right to respond to complaints from other users. Those in violation of the food and drink guidelines may be asked to put away their food or to consume it outside of the library.
