message: Ive herd that the fire suppression system in this building relies on removing the oxygen from the building, as to not damage the books from water based sprinklers, does anyone know if this is true? If so I Think it should be mentioned in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.182.253 (talk) 01:30, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the central core library stacks can be flooded with carbon dioxide to suppress fire; the staff is warned to evacuate immediately if the fire detectors are triggered.  The public does not have access to these spaces.  This needs to be verified before inclusion in the article.  --Reify-tech (talk) 19:34, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

text: Found verifiable info that Halon type gas is used, not carbon dioxide. Added it to article, along with cite.  --Reify-tech (talk) 20:02, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
