Security Measures at NY Public Library

gsandler writes “Here is a story from the New Yorker magazine about the New York Public Library‘s new restrictions on bringing your bags into the library. "Students, researchers, writers, historians, idlers, hoboes, and anyone else who has grown accustomed over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room, on the third floor, as an office or a, well, reading room came up against a new decree. 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."”
