Greetings all,
I regret that I was unable to make it to yesterday's Thanksgiving meal/party. I did want to post a quick message expressing my ongoing appreciation of all the hard work that staff at Central do everyday in an often challenging environment. You are all quite amazing and your dedication is to be commended. I sincerely hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and a restful few days off of work.
Thanks,
Mike VC

Food Issue at CEN
Greetings,
I want to share with staff that your concerns about food at CEN have been heard. I have been working with administration on the need to change current practices at CEN. They have agreed to support that decision. This is not a change to policy but to practices here at CEN. According to policy, food "may" be permitted in a library if there is a "designated area". Because Inversion and Teens sell food, we have to continue to allow food in some "designated areas". I am working with Paty and Beatrice to come up with new practices in this area. It may very well be that food is limited to Teens and Inversion, which would realistically mean no outside food. We are hoping to implement the changes fairly soon and will share exact details with all staff and security prior to any changes.
The one bit I would add to this is that we will continue to follow the policy on beverages, which does not permit the flexibility that the food portion of the policy does. As a reminder, it states "the consumption of non-alcoholic beverages in covered containers is permitted at all library locations except HMRC."
Look for more information and implementation details on this change in the coming weeks.
Thanks,
Mike VC
