My father, OTOH, never allows seforim to be put down on a table which 
has crumbs on it.  It can be the day after Pesach and if you put a sefer 
down on the table he'll say "brekelach" (crumbs) and have you brush it 
off and hold it in your hands, or else fold the tablecloth back and put 
it down on the bare table.   Siddurim and benchers, which of course do 
go on the table during meals, are put away for Pesach.
