My daughter lives in a nice neighborhood in a Utah town which has a library that is very kid friendly. Of course, adults are expected to look after them and not the library staff. In our many visits there, don't think I've ever encountered a wino or street crazy.

The library that I mentioned in post #34 is in a bad neighborhood, in a bad city. I sometimes go there, but never after dark. But it just happens to be located high up on a hill. Few bums care to make the climb. But I guess the moms don’t mind the drive.
As the old saying goes, location is everything!
