  I think the two men at left are in prison garb, and the man at right is in guard's or warder's uniform.
  
  When looking at the associated photograph www.flickr.com/photos/nypl/3109284623/in/set-721576109675...
  
  I wondered why they were flicking the dust onto the books carefully laid on the ground, but now I see that they are using a type of vacuum device with a brush head.
  
  We can see the hose attached to the head, and extending behind the men at right.

  I seldom see dust in libraries. Is that mainly because of ventilation systems? Or do they still literally dust the shelves?

• Lú_ said:

  This image has been used in Rob Ketcherside's indicommons.org 'Across the Commons' post Clean Up Yer Mess. (When I worked in libraries, we read the shelves, but I don't think we every dusted them.)
