Looted? Ptobably only the computers. And the wiring. Books are safe unless there’s a serious cold snap.
What are their favorite books and magazines?
I witnessed a showdown 2 months ago between library staff and a very unruly woman street-person. This was in a very small-town library. I can’t imagine the scale of this problem in LA.
Maybe put this issue into Spencer Pratts attack ads. They are already pretty good though.
“Temporary Suspension Letters — which ban unruly patrons from all library branches....”
IOW - NOTHING of substance is being done....
I wonder whom these librarians voted for.
Democrats are Evil Corp.
The address on one of the letters was “Blue and orange tent on the east side of Maerling Drive 2500 block “
I noticed the same thing fifty years ago at the big library in another city. What once was a nice library to go to, after the mental hospitals were closed, the crazies dumped on the streets, AND the vagrancy laws done away with, that nice library was suddenly filled with bums sleeping off their drunks in all the comfortable chairs, in air conditioned comfort. It got so bad that library had to close for a while due to ....BEDBUGS.
What was once FREE MUSEUMS in the city suddenly started requiring an entrance fee to keep the bums out.
But, but, but...
...I thought that these were the ‘unhoused/hungry’ for whom the checker was begging for donations at the grocery store yesterday? /s/s/s

Libraries?
Places for democrats to damage the culture? If it’s not criminals it’s drag queens pushing themselves on children..
Books are cheap downloads in our time - close down the library system. Chalk it up to one more institution democrats ruined.
The underlying story — The ruling class of LA has repudiated civilization and try to be safe in their haciendas.
Libraries are where the homeless go to poop and shave.
Well they ARE public libraries! You mean, racist, artist, rich, elitist, misogynistic scumbags!
(/sarcasm) for the impaired.
This is what leftists want for the entire country so they can break it and rebuild their utopia(hell).
Sounds like Denver.
The libraries themselves are doing their part. In Massachusetts, pot dispensaries contribute to state revenues. In Western Mass, a very modern showcase branch subscribes to the print version of “High Times” magazine. This library is next to a public grade school and the area’s Catholic high school. I suppose for safety, there are no doors into the rest rooms, just two turns of a corridor, so that sounds of inappropriate activity may be more audible.
After a lunatic set a fire on the 2nd floor of Northampton’s Forbes Library, the management refused to put in security cameras.
Seriously? It sounds like they're far past "unruly" and they certainly aren't legitimate "patrons." Oh Lord, deliver us from the constant politically correct CRAP!
