New hot food guidance for Main Library and AGLC

You told us in the most recent Library Survey you don’t like people eating smelly food in Library study spaces. We have listened, and in response we’re trialling a new stance on hot food within the Main Library and AGLC.

We’re asking all customers to eat their hot food (whether it’s been bought on campus or externally) in the AGLC cafe only. This means no hot food should be taken into the Main Library, or past the barriers in the AGLC.

4 out of 5 students surveyed last December were opposed to eating smelly food in Library buildings.

We received a number of comments including:

“Have stricter regulations about the foods taken into the study spaces”

“Control on people eating hot food which is smelly”

“Make sure no food is taken in as is it is a nuisance in many ways”

“Stricter regulation on food and drink”

“Ban smelly food.”

“…more awareness could be made about eating smelly food…”

We hope this improves your experience when using the Library. Please let us know your thoughts, and any other ways we can help you .
