"Scents" and Sensibility

Fragrances surround us, and sometimes we scarcely notice them. But some people, especially those with asthma or allergies, are highly sensitive to scents and smells. If you’ve ever encountered a perfume ad in a magazine—and who hasn’t—then you know how well paper can absorb scents. With that in mind, we appreciate our patrons' consideration regarding fragrances, such as perfume or cigarette smoke. Those smells can permeate a book, causing a health issue for the next patron. Thank you for regarding the good health of others and helping us to maintain a quality collection for the use of all Brentwood citizens.
