I would have to pass on going into a library with an animal because I know it would make me cough/sneeze/generally set me off. I am not an animal hater, in fact I have talked my husband into the current corgi that lives (and sheds) in our home now and in the past have had cats. What mom’s do for their kids!! However, as a Library Director I would have to pass knowing that allergies are a real obstacle for people and wouldn’t want to do anything to deter patrons from coming to the library. Not only animals can be an issue but also people that wear strong perfume.
