  As someone with an allergy to cats, I would love to go to the cat library and I will pet the library cat no matter how much my hands and lungs burn.

  I have petted this cat! Doxing myself, but I live pretty close to this library.

    I’d also dox myself if I held that particular honor.

  I love this story and it’s a beautiful kitty! But hot take: animals should not live in the library. Libraries are specifically for everyone and there are many people who are allergic to or have a phobia of (more common for dogs but still relevant ) cats which would potentially prohibit them from accessing the space and resources

    Thank you for the counterpoint. I agree it’s a fair and constructive one.

    How would you feel about treating it like workplaces that ban allergens on a case-by-case basis depending on the needs of their constituents and clients?

    For example, I was once in an organization that banned latex, especially balloons, because someone was severely allergic. However, most places don’t ban latex.

      Hmm interesting. I think in small, isolated communities (like islands), that could definitely work. But as soon as you go beyond “everyone knows everyone”, you’d have to start polling everyone to see if they have allergies and that just seems infeasible at scale. Plus, if anyone moves into the community you’d have to ask them and potentially re-home an integrated animal.
