[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised to learn that homeless people have finally entered NW DC. The rest of us have been dealing with this issue for decades. [/quote]

Oh cmon. Cleveland Park and Tenleytown have had homeless people for decades. I grew up there in the 80s and 90s and encountered homeless people multiple times a day.

OP, there is no grounds to say they can't come in the library. Sorry.[/quote]

I never said that they shouldn’t be able to come to the library. I said that they shouldn’t be able to impede on other people’s experiences. In the Tenleytown library vestibule, you literally cannot go in without walking by the benches where they’re sitting in their self soiled clothing, acting erratically, or just causing visceral reactions by the by the smell. I would love to be able to send my child down the street to the library to pick out a book, to browse, but I can’t because I’m afraid of what might happen or what they will experience.
