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

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.

Oh BS.   I know many people who have nice homes in Reston, Herndon, etc and only people like you expect the local [b]public library[/b]  to become another wing of aa homeless shelter.  That is what it has become.   Many who love in Reston now go to other libraries.  Humanizing the library for the homeless population?   It is first and foremost a library.   [b]I'm a liberal and expect my tax dollars to fund a public library NOT a lounge for the homeless shelter. [/b] And WTF is Fairfax County doing putting homeless families in with that crew?

Reston is a large library-a regional not a local.   Sounds like the friends of library organizations are fundraising for a counterproductive county facility.   Many don't use it anymore.   And the county wants the money.    http://annandaleva.blogspot.com/2017/06/library-volunteers-oppose-money-grab-by.html

Who can we contact to voice our anger and concerns?  I can't fathom the fact that they're planning on actually enlarging the shelter, while keeping the location the same.  What complete morons.[/quote]
