1. A computer program product for acclimating at least one electronic data storage library component for insertion or removal from an electronic data storage library, the computer program product comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to insert at least one data storage library component into an interior of at least one acclimation device;
programming instructions to monitor at least one environmental condition within the interior of the at least one acclimation device;
programming instructions to determine if the at least one environmental condition within the interior of the at least one acclimation device meets a predetermined threshold;
programming instructions to adjust the at least one environmental condition within the interior of the at least one acclimation device in response to monitoring the at least one environmental condition within the interior of the at least one acclimation device; and
programming instructions to remove the at least one electronic data storage library component from the interior of the at least one acclimation device in response to determining that the at least one environmental condition within the interior of the at least one acclimation device meets the predetermined threshold.
