You might find it useful to look at such works as Michael
Trinkley's _Preservation Concerns in Construction and
Remodeling of Libraries: Planning for Preservation_. Columbia,
SC: Chicora Foundation, 1992. Trinkley says flatly "Since the
presence of food attracts a variety of insect pests, the ideal
approach is to eliminate food from all library settings. This,
of course, may not always be possible. If food is allowed in
the building there are few techniques that can be used to
minimize the problem," and he discusses those, in a context of
"IPM" - "Integrated Pest Management." Today the "warming
kitchen," tomorrow the Palm Court Restaurant.
According to Lonna McKinley:
>
> Our Museum is in the process of adding a warming kitchen to the
> facilities.  It will be an addition inside of an exhibit area in close proximity
> to exhibits and archival storage.

> I was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with a similar situation.  If so,
> do you have any suggestion or comments on how to ensure the
> prevention of damage to the collections if insects or rodents are
> attracted.
