We have now introduced a ban on all food and drink in the Library.

This ban has been introduced due to the fact that library users have not been disposing of food leftovers appropriately as well as not returning drinking glasses or crockery to the Hastings Room as requested.

We have previously been lenient with regard to the consumption of drinks and snacks in the library, but a number of users have recently started bringing in cooked and smelly foods – resulting in complaints.

All of the above has left us with no choice but to introduce a complete ban on food and drink because we now have a problem with mice!
