[Ted Smith]

Get on Amazon and purchase her a tin hat. They sell them. Also let her know that the sun puts out millions of times more micro waves than your wife fi.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Patron accommodation question

We have a patron with the following request:


I suffer from a condition called Electro Hypersensitivity, also called microwave sickness. Many others also suffer from this condition (Alan DeBoer’s wife is one). When in the presence of a strong wifi signal, my symptoms of ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and headaches worsen.


I am requesting there are days and times when wifi is turned off for people like me. I LOVE reading and have checked out many books from the library.

Have any of you encountered similar requests? How would you handle this situation?
