[Anonymous No.14295308]

>>14295277
yeah, they installed them for homeless people (because homeless people like to hand around at libraries for some reason)
i guess the point is to keep them smelling clean, so its good thing overall
maybe libraries should have public washing machines too (homeless people dont spend there money on laundry mats), and frankly i think clean clothes are just as much as a right as a shower is
plus it defeats the point of cleaning the homeless when they put on clothes that smell like ass

Yes. Our government mandates that mcdonalds be placed in each corner, as well as the communal showers in the centre. That is the typical configuration. The books are positioned wherever. Typically, also, the books are covered in a mucus-like covering of grease.

Where do you guys live that homeless people is something you seem to always associate with libraries?
I was at the library a lot when I was younger but there were never any homeless people. To be fair, I guess I rarely saw homeless people in my area.

It's mostly in cities that it's a problem. I went to my city's main library between classes to hang out and read once, and I could tell I was getting weird looks for sitting at a table reading Solzhenitsyn instead of sitting at a computer and being unshowered. I haven't been back because it was too strange to be the only person reading in a room full of books. I get that it's meant to be a public space and librarians tend to be liberal people who want to be accomidating, but it's a shame people hardly want to use libraries for their intended function anymore because of the unpleasentness of their unintended secondary ones.
