Okay, I know it’s an open public place. Meandering with coffee. Sampling a muffin or some sort of pastry. Yet there seems to be this treatment that the Central Library is like a cafeteria. The wafting stench of potent caesar salad dressing in the non-fiction section. The stinky roast beef sandwich coming from a nook on the third floor. And, as I experienced a few days ago, the kid who was noisily slurping his noodles which also stank strongly of soya sauce or maybe it was teriyaki. This is not a dam restaurant. Outside food should be banned in the library. Or there may as well be a bloody pizza oven installed in the history section. —Library lover, stick to the recipe books only

ERMAGERD! – ANOTHER RACIST BITCH IN THE COAST.
You should really be providing free trauma counsellors to your readership if you are going to continue violating our safe space with xenophobic, conservative hate like this.
This isn’t your grandfather’s libraries. Libraries have to adapt to the times or risk fading into irrelevancy. They have become more things to more people, and that’s big change to ask a city generally resistant to change. I don’t know if I’ve ever noticed Soya sauce having much of a stink.
It isn’t a library; it’s a public space containing books.
The library serves pizza now? Kick Ass!!!
Becoming a ‘grosseteria’. Then again these days many people seem to think they are entitled to slurp and munch wherever they are no matter if it is messy or smelly for others etc.
Xenophobic? Because noodles and soya sauce was mentioned? It was a white kid slurping on noodles by the way. I guess I should have been more specific and perhaps that would be considered racist as well Denez Del Gado. Many ethnicities like to eat noodles. And yes soya sauce does smell.
At least they are sitting down. I find it kind of disgusting to see someone trying to eat a slice of pizza or a sub sandwich while walking down the street.
Hahaha! Yes Frosty, you SHOULD have been clearer as I too came to the same conclusion that Denez did; especially given yesterday’s clearly-racist bitch about a Timmie’s location. Follow the board and learn.
Anyway, my question for you is simple: what brand of soy sauce smells? Oh, another: What does it smell like?
Hey… YOU opened the door!
Anotherfakebitch.
Soya sauce does not stink
Soya sause smells like salt and water, unless there is a swimming pools worth, it shouldn’t be that smelly within 3 feet of the dish. I did the research, don’t worry about my facts.
The Criminal Code doesn’t have anything covering noodle slurping in a public space so you’re out of luck, poster.
I have not been there yet but it sounds like a horridly smelly and annoying place. The place I want to visit next is the intersection of North and Chebucto. There’s a swing there with my name on it. Weather is getting better for it too. Whoever put it there bless your generous, fun loving heart.
Kinda agree with this…have made a few messes with my coffee and am worried I could be the reason that Central Library bans food and drink there!
