Pigeon droppings

In talking with one of our building consultants today, I was asked
what potential diseases, etc. can result from the substantial
presence of pigeon droppings in an attic and on a dropped ceiling in
a library. She, and the staff, need an argument to deal with the
situation and address the need for a new library.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated,
