Main library limits size of bags allowed inside
The main branch of the New York Public Library instituted a new rule last week to cut down on the number of people who permanently "borrow" items from the library, according to the New Yorker. The rule: You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library. If you walk in with one, you must leave it at the coat check. You may keep its contents with you, however, and the library provides big clear plastic ziplock bags for them. This comes on top of the regular bag chack at the library's entrance and another at the opening to the Rose Main Reading Room. "It's a big switch for people who used to come and bring in half their apartment," Stewart Bodner, a research librarian, told the New Yorker.
