Travelers may take advantage of "limited food service" or enjoy a "sack lunch" of their own preparation right in the library at the snack table area. Upon request, the van will make a lunch trip (out and back) for more lunch choices. The van will also make a dinner stops, snack runs, etc. If breakfast isn't served at the hotel, stops will also be made for this.
Note: The Independence library has special area set aside for snacking. Food and drink are welcome in this area. Because of this, many researchers - especially in the heat - arrive in the morning and don't leave the air conditioned comfort of the facility until it is time to go to evening meal and/or lodging.
