Why are some libraries allowed to drink Sprite instead of Coke?

Books are paper documents, which are easily damaged and difficult to preserve. In readers' reading and daily circulation, there are many factors that affect the "life" of literature. Among them, improper use by readers and accidents are one of the important reasons for damaging books. If readers drink water, drinks and snacks in the reading room, they will accidentally spill water, drinks or food residues on books and periodicals, causing damage to the books in the collection. At the same time, harmful organisms such as mold accompanying drinks and food are also one of the chief culprits to reduce the "life" of books and periodicals. The research results show that the main hazards of literature are literature pests (moths, biting literature), molds and rodents (such as house mice, biting literature). It is found that many pests in the stacks are closely related to the food, drinks and sweets brought into the stacks by readers.

Some readers have the bad habit of eating and drinking in the reading room The smell of food and drink, falling residues, stones, peels and packaging bags are all important incentives for pests to breed and rodents to enter the stacks.

In recent years, with the automation and digital construction of libraries, these harmful gases, molds, rodents, pests and so on. It has become the basic knowledge of libraries at home and abroad that the service life of library infrastructure such as computers, CDs and air conditioners will be seriously affected along with beverage and food residues.

The library has always had a rule that readers are not allowed to bring food and drinks into the reading room. However, in recent years, due to the lack of basic knowledge and self-discipline awareness of some students, we seldom introduce the rationality and scientificity of these basic regulations to you. As a result, a few students only care about personal convenience, regardless of school property and a good learning environment, regardless of the legitimate rights and interests of other readers. They bring snacks such as food, drinks, sweets and melon seeds into the reading room at will, and eat and drink in public places, which has caused some reading rooms to violate the rules and regulations. Some readers even don't accept the advice of managers, eat melon seeds, fruits and bagged food in the reading room, and throw peels, stones and packaging garbage at will.

We all know the truth that "one person talks, ten people are sour", and we also know that it is unsightly to eat in public and in full view, especially not to munch on melon seeds in the reading room where cultural people are concentrated. Students may not understand that when many employers recruit teachers, these seemingly meticulous and casual behaviors are often an important reason for employment failure.

Our readers are all talking about internationalization, but the habits of some of our farmers and ordinary people (Yang Er's eldest sister-in-law who leans against the door while eating melon seeds as outlined in Lu Xun's hometown) and style are far from the image of college students under the background of internationalization. According to modern etiquette norms, talking about mobile phones and eating on subways and buses, putting on makeup and changing clothes in public places, eating melon seeds in front of others, sneezing, chewing, punching and shouting are all disgusting behaviors. If you have the opportunity to go abroad or go to Hong Kong and other places, we can easily see the ugliness and vulgarity of these behaviors.

University library is one of the most important infrastructures for teaching and scientific research, and it is also the most concentrated public activity place for teachers and students in universities. The relevant leaders of our school have repeatedly stressed that it is necessary to help and guide college students and graduate students to arrange their college study life centered on the library.

The library of our school has been favored and appreciated by several generations of normal college students and has been proud of it for decades. Especially since the new library was put into use, the reader flow has increased rapidly and the personnel density is very high. The air quality is very poor. If individual readers neglect the health and environment of others and the legitimate rights and interests of other readers when using documents, the library will become a messy and dirty place that many people don't want to visit, and the books in the library will become an important pollution source that people hate and breed germs, so it is difficult for us to realize the sustainable development of the library.

At the same time, the university library is not only a place to collect books and read books, but also a place to cultivate everyone's civilized living habits and the temperament, demeanor and feelings of cultural people. The readers here are not only reading, but also gradually developing elegant aesthetic taste and civilized learning lifestyle.

I would like to remind you that eating and drinking in the reading room will not only affect your own image and the study of others, but also damage books and materials, which is harmful to your health. Practice has proved that eating while reading will affect digestion and endocrine, and it is also harmful to your thinking and brain health. At the same time, because public books will inevitably be contaminated with a variety of infectious bacteria when used by many people, eating and drinking while reading will often increase the chance of cross-infection.

Based on this, in order to ensure readers' health and guide readers to form good reading habits, our library has set up a cultural leisure square on the first floor with reference to the modern service methods of foreign libraries, and opened up a dining place to provide dining places and catering services for readers who have been studying in the library for a long time, which can basically meet the needs of simple meals and fast food, and also provide a place to exchange reading experience and leisure tea. At the same time, it is clearly reiterated that food and drinks are not allowed to be brought into the reading room.

I believe everyone can understand the rationality of our requirements and management.

System is the foundation and self-discipline is the key. In order to improve people's ideological understanding, increase their consciousness of implementing the regulations, and make our readers' behavior close to the international level, integrate with modern civilization and enhance their consciousness, we will introduce some practices and rules and regulations of four American universities to readers for encouragement.

Yale University Library stipulates that eating is not allowed in the following places: stacks, research rooms, reading rooms, computer areas, copier areas, exclusive Tibetan areas and any areas marked "No Eating". Some branch libraries may, according to the actual situation, designate dining areas in or near the library. Readers can drink non-alcoholic beverages in licensed containers in these parts of the library, and the places where drinking is not allowed will be marked accordingly. Licensed containers include: cups that can prevent overflow, such as cups with lids or closed drinking ports; Sports cup with nozzle that can be closed, etc. Containers that are not allowed to be used include open cups or cups, cans, glasses, uncovered paper cups or plastic cups.

Yale University Library stipulates that readers who don't obey the dietary regulations, library staff and security guards will "invite" them to bring food and drinks to the designated dining area; Unattended food in non-designated dining areas and unattended drinks in containers that are not allowed will be treated as garbage by management personnel.

The regulations of Benedictine University Library include: (1) All drinks must be kept in covered containers; (2) Eating and drinking are not allowed in the computer area or the research room with computers; (3) It is forbidden to eat dinner food in the library; (4) When readers leave the library, they should take away all food packages, cups and containers, or put them in appropriate places, and clean up all residues. If a reader is found to have brought unauthorized food or drinks into the library reading room, the librarian will "ask" him to take them away and leave.

According to the regulations of Durham University Library, you can only eat and drink in the basement and fast food lounge of the library. If readers want to take food outside the museum, they must put the food in bags or closed plastic bags during the museum. Anti-overflow cups can be drunk in the reading room of the library, and cans, open cups, paper cups and plastic cups are not allowed to be used for drinks and tea drinking in the library. Librarians have the right to refuse to bring people who do not meet the above requirements into the library, and have the right to refuse to bring unqualified bottled drinks into the library for any reason. Readers should also inform the staff immediately when they see water overflow or overflow.

The diet policy of Murdoch University Library first defines the objectives: (1) providing designated dining areas in the library; (2) Ensure that librarians and readers know the areas where they can eat and drink in the library; (3) To ensure that readers know the kinds of edible foods and drinks in the designated area; (4) Ensure that readers know that they have the responsibility to keep a clean and healthy library environment. Then the specific rules are clarified: a can drink bottled water in the whole warehouse; B, you can eat cold food and drinks with a cover in the group discussion room; C. After the readers leave the group discussion room, they should put all the rubbish into the dustbin to ensure that there is no residue in the room; D, if there are drinks spilled or spilled, report to the staff.

The library of Murdoch University also explained the meaning of policy provisions in detail, for example, bottled water is water in a bottle with a lid; Cold food is packaged food that is not heated, such as chocolate and fruit.
