Food, Drink and Cell Phones

Comment
I am wondering why patrons (students) of the library here at Douglas College do not have to follow rules (clearly posted at the entrance of the library) ie no food, no drinks and no cell-phones...

Answer
The Library's food and drink policy has been revised recently to allow cold snack foods that do not disturb other people and beverages in covered containers or bottles. The notice at the entrance of the library reflects the old policy and is in the process of being removed. Regarding cell phone use, patrons are strongly encouraged to leave the Library before using their cell phones and are also asked to set them to low volume or to non-audible signals while on the premises. Please feel free to contact a librarian at the Information desk about any related disturbances.
