Good heavens, where do you live????
They relieve themselves in the corners? Does the library not have bathrooms?
I don’t understand.

“They relieve themselves in the corners? Does the library not have bathrooms?

Tallahassee. This isn’t a bathroom problem, it’s a mental issue. Last time I was in Tampa the ground floor of the downtown library had become a homeless center. The remote corners stunk of urine. That was 30 years ago and I’ve never been back to an in-town library since: except for a quick run-through in Tallahassee. I decided I’d never go back there either.

When I was in the Smithsonian several years ago, I told a guard that a homeless person was peeing on one of the cases. He rolled his eyes and told me; “Unless I see it myself I can’t throw them out. Even if I do, they just come back in. We can’t throw them out until we close. This is a public building and they’re the public. That’s the law.”
