[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't many homeless shelters close during the day? That's never made sense to me, but libraries seem to be a temperature-controlled, [b]fairly safe[/b] fallback for those on the streets. I agree that there should be other welcoming public facilities open to them during the day, but often there are not.[/quote]

When homeless get to be "fairly safe" in the library, they make it [i]less safe[/i] for everyone else, especially women and children. Great solution.  :roll:  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

Some homeless people actually are women and children.[/quote]

x100 this. The homeless are our fellow community members, i.e., part of the public. [/quote]

Yes, and they still need to follow rules for usage of public space.  [/quote]

No one said they shouldn't. The same as if your toddler is going around bugging people and trying to rip the books.[/quote]

You’re comparing homeless to a 3 year old. Nice. Btw, if you’re trying to persuade people to be more empathetic & helpful, you’re doing a crummy job. [/quote]
