[Libs-Or] office humidifiers

[dan cawley]

 Howdy and Hello:
This has been an extremely dry winter on the north coast.
In the past 24 hours (and most of the past week), our hygrometers have been hovering between 20 and 27.
We would like to strategically place some humidifiers in the office to reduce dry-eyes, respiratory issues, and bloody noses.
The problem is finding an affordable, reliable humidifier.
I have spent an inordinate amount of time locating a decent model.
Does one even exist?
I have learned that humidifiers can cause "humidifier-lung," spread bacteria, distribute white dust, require incessant cleaning, can be noisy, or are, simply, inefficient.
Two questions:
Does anyone use a humidifier in their office or building?
Can anyone recommend a make/model for our library?
As always, thanks in advance for the response.
