go to a park and see a NO LOITERING sign
Then WTF is it FOR??
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

That’s why conservatives hate it
Well that and a few of the books are supportive
One of the last third spaces. I wish I enjoyed books more. My wife goes all the time
and the only place where they dont ask for exorbitant amounts of money in exchange for self improvement.
But it costs money xd
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.
That’s why they kick out homeless people every hour on the hour
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.”
The bigger question we as a society need to be asking is why does anyone needs to sleep in the library in the first place?
From my experience, politicians talk a lot about fixing that problem in order to get elected but actually do very little about it once they get in office.
Their “fix” is just to try to make the problem invisible to their voterbase.
