    Sign me up! lol. I can’t get an erection. I’ve been to my local library a few times, and they have little rooms you can rent for private meetings and whatnot. Definitely heard a couple fuck in one of those, once.

    The reason fox news is able to make wild claims about libraries is because its viewers haven’t stepped foot in a library since they were in elementary school.

      Wait, now you can use Libby and borrow books from libraries within hundreds of miles or you…for free? Better end that shit we don’t want people learning anything. Statistically the higher your education level the more likely you are to be a Democrat atheist.

    Libraries are the last sanctuary for the poor and the lost. It used to be the churches. Save all libraries everywhere and build way more.

    damn perhaps we should do something about the underlying socioeconomic problems that cause homelessness and antisocial behavior. No? just shuffle them around some more? oh, okay.

    I’ve been to some libraries where it’s for whatever reason full of people either drunk or high causing a ruckus. Then they sometimes fight, leave needles and stuff behind and yell at random people. The library has hired/asked the mall to get more security, but the library has already got a reputation and people have started avoiding it. It sucks, there’s very few nice, calm and quiet community places around.

    The situation improved this summer since the drunk or high people spend more time outside but now the close by park has been dug up, so they’re back to the library.

      Yeah I’ve seen a library that manages to mediate between its homeless polulation and other patrons, but i could see fox news trying to gin up a moral panoc about libraries rather than have compassion for the homeless.

        It’s not really homeless people that do that here, it’s more just generally addicts. Still sad and a poor situation for everyone.

        Most libraries aren’t like that though, this particular library just has it bad. I’m not exactly sure why
