Question/Comment:
Free chai for Monday night studiers in the section right here! [Note - this was left in a suggestion box by the 3rd floor restrooms].
Response:
We always get these. Suggestions for foodstuffs, that is. It seems to be remarkable reversal – in the olden days, people were generally barred from bringing anything edible into the library; these days it is not only permitted, but it’s even suggested that we bring in more.
Not that I am complaining, of course. I thought the old restrictions were pretty silly. Anyway, as much as we’d like to give out free chai and other noshes to our hard-working customers, it doesn’t seem to be in the cards right now. With everything else we have to do, maintaining an adequate chai-stream would be hard to do, especially at night. Plus we would be depriving the Daily Dose of the business, and we always want to swing some towards those nice people.
