[Publib] a delicate issue

[Henriksen, Phalbe]

A strategically placed fan pointing away from the staff person or away
from the circ desk or a ceiling fan *behind* the circ desk would help.

I can appreciate this perspective.  I have a full time staff member who
is also affected by certain stronger perfumes, and she either tolerates
the fragrance during the course of the reference interaction as best she
can,  or defers the patron to another librarian. <snip

Let me present the other side of the coin. It's still odor pollution,
but many people wouldn't think so because it doesn't affect them. 

I have three patrons who apparently bathe in perfume before leaving
their homes. I'm sure their perfume is quite lovely, but as a migraine
and allergy sufferer, their visits can leave me ill for days. <snip>
