Love your library ~ Leave no trace!

The library is starting a new campaign. The amount of food and drink being consumed in our building has risen noticeably in recent months. At the same time, the number of hours that housekeeping staff are able to devote to the library has declined, and they are finding it very difficult to keep up with the refuse. While cockroaches and other vermin appear to be thriving, we do not consider their happiness to be an important goal at this time; we would prefer to have an environment with less garbage and fewer bugs.

The library's official policy allows covered drinks only in the building. However, if you do bring food into the library, we ask that you remove all of your leftovers - or as the Boy Scouts say, "Pack it out!" Garbage cans are located just outside the library entrance, for your convenience.

Thank you for helping keep the library clean.
