@georgetakei As other social services have disappeared, libraries have become homeless shelters, after school day cares, and senior citizen centers, and play many other roles. I was in the Little Tokyo library (in LA, not far from skid row) when the young librarian was kicking a homeless guy out because he had promised not to come to the library when he was high. The guy was very apologetic. If bad things happen in libraries, it's because other necessary services are underfunded or nonexistent.
@georgetakei but what I want to really know is why aren't MY libraries turning into drug infested sex dens? What are my tax dollars going to?!? I FEEL LIKE I'M MISSING OUT!!!
