Oh dear, food stains on a library book is just nasty. Even with my own books, grease can invite mold growth. I keep magazines in the dining area. That way if I'm alone I can read and even if I spill something the magazines go in the recycle bin eventually anyway.

An excellent example of inequality in America...a Whole Foods, a K Mart and a Dollar Store all lined up next to each other...the irony of that situation coupled with the fact that if you turn out of the parking lot to the left you enter a town where the first major business is a canine daycare cente...
