[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what do you propose they do that results in the outcome of a functioning and pleasant library space AND serves a growing homeless population effectively and in a humanizing way?

You speak a lot about getting them out of the library, which I get, but you say nothing of the needs the homeless have and that those needs should be met in a compassionate way. I'm interested to hear your solution or desired outcome(s) before I call you a heartless B. And I don't say that because of your complaints - I get them and I agree. I say it because of the way you complain and how it's sounding.

I'm a DP but you're being unfair to the OP.  Typical 'liberal limousine elite post'. Do your relatives who live in those million dollar houses actually use the library?  I find that what happens is a lot of those wealthier families slip the library.  They buy books instead for their kids and themselves.  Easier to order with a click off of Amazon than scour the shelves.  So support for the library goes down.

Personally I LOVE libraries.  And my solidly middle class family cannot afford to buy every single book the kids want to read.

So while this issue may not affect your rich family members in their million dollar houses, it certainly does impact the lives of middle class families who moved there for a safe place to raise their kids.[/quote]
