Mass hysteria in the Chatham Community Library?

    I’ve been to the new library about four times, sometimes browsing at  length.  I have to admit I have not smelled anything, nor felt any  discomfort (except for the yellow tiles).  🙂    It is expected that  new carpet would have some kind of “new” odor, I suppose.  Carpet is  highly treated with chemicals.

    Two things come to mind.  Mass hysteria?  And the other is, all  the employees are there for up to 40 hours a week.  Have they been  tested, or queried?  That would be the group to really investigate for  anything reality-based, especially after experts have checked out  scientifically any possible things in the air.  Are there any library employees on the Chatlist who could speak to that aspect?
