      Yeah that’s for the wrong sorts of people. Don’t worry, it’s only selectively enforced, and the cops know you’re one of the good ones. /s

      Thanks for the opportunity to point out that most libraries also value community support. They can always use volunteers and donations but a great way to help your library is to look for book sales!

      When a library has too many of certain books less popular than expected or books that have gotten a fair amount of use they need to replace them. A community book sale gives you the opportunity to buy books at a huge discount and the library the opportunity to get a little of their investment back to support more current needs.

      I saw a librarian kick out a homeless guy for sleeping in the library because “we have a rule that you can’t be unconscious in the library. It’s for your own safety.”

      WTF? What kind of danger are you in when you’re sleeping? What made this even stupider is he didn’t need to cite some bullshit rule to kick the guy out, because he was snoring! He could’ve just said “Your snoring is too loud, and you have to be quiet in the library.”
