I’d like to say that’s great, but where I was just living in Denver it is an issue because some people basically take showers in the restrooms and occasionally overdose or fall asleep in them. Access to facilities is fantastic, but this does affect the ability for others to use them.
Yeah, no doubt about it. I’m a library guy and I’ve seen it, too. The homeless are not Disney characters, and they can be difficult.
Mostly what struck me in the post was the librarians’ positive attitudes… and I’ve seen that same remarkably positive attitude from librarians in the libraries.
