[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're *public* libraries. They serve *the public*. [/quote] Meaning what? They could be sued if they don’t let homeless hang out there? Well that sucks for everyone else, doesn’t it?[/quote] Meaning that their mission is to serve the public, and the public includes people who are homeless.[/quote] But the public doesn’t include ONLY people who are homeless. It also includes the non homeless who would like to use the library for research or to borrow books for their children but often can’t, at least not safely, because of a mentally ill homeless man sleeping in the stacks which is not the intended purpose of a library.
