[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when have the homeless saints been revered on a par with religious hermits?[/quote] They're [b]people[/b] who need somewhere safe and warm to be during the day. [/quote] Fellow liberal here. yes, they are people, but libraries also have a distinct purpose for the public (including the homeless/poor public) to be a place to read and study. So no, libraries should not be de facto homeless day shelters. Homeless people should be welcome as long as they are using the facilities appropriately. [/quote] Interestingly, as a child you never saw homeless people in any library anywhere in any state. This was in the 60's and 70's. I suspect they would have been run out of the libraries at that time....i.e. police called for vagrancy. Libraries in the 60's and 70's were well populated with Moms and their kids.[/quote]
