Zusammenfassung:	A data storage library includes an array of drive slots each configured to receive a data storage drive therein. The data storage library also includes a nozzle for creating an air curtain across a front of the array of drive slots and a fan for creating an airflow through the nozzle. A method includes selectively instructing a fan to create an airflow through a nozzle for creating an air curtain across a front of an array of drive slots in the data storage library. A computer program product is configured to perform the foregoing method.
