I didn't think public libraries could afford to ban anyone anymore....
I don't like this idea mainly because it sounds like it would lead to unfair judgement calls.

"It's just a bit of BO--get over it, you dandy."

If you come in reeking because you just rolled in shit, that's another story.
(Perfumes and colognes notwithstanding.)
