Food in the library?
I remember back when there were signs all over the libraries at uni prohibiting all forms of food and drink in the library, and when the same libraries reluctantly agreed to allow bottled water only. Now, as I'm currently, right now, at this moment* studying in one of the uni's libraries, I can see a sign that says cold food and covered drinks are permitted, with examples and pictures to show you want you may consume in this building: sandwiches, sushi, cake, and covered drink all have big green ticks next to them while burger and chips, pizza, noodles, and open drink are given big red crosses. When did this happen? Is it only a matter of time before a cafe installs itself in here? I feel like purchasing some food just to experience the novelty of eating in a library.

That's crazy!!!!! Food and libraries just don't mix - it's one of those universal laws. What if someone gets sushi salmon on one of the books? Ick!
Well, the books are probably safe - I didn't see all that many people actually using them. The library seems to be just a place to sit and plug in your laptop. Actually, maybe that's why the food's allowed now - people are only endangering their own laptops.
