No Food in the Library Please

A lot of food and wrappers have been found in the furniture and sadly being placed on the bookshelves. We want to keep the library clean and make the furniture and books last as long as possible.


The ants have started to move in, so to keep them away, please enjoy your snacks at lunch or another approved place. Thank you!
