Libraries didn't cause the downfall of the area they are in. LOL.
Why blame the library. I'm sure if the library started sweeping away the homeless, there would be just as much outcry at their callousness.
We've got a library out here where the employees can get trained in adminstering Narcan because people frequently overdose at or around the library. I don't blame the library, but at this point, I don't even think it should be called a library any more. It's a temporary homeless shelter during daytime hours.
Many employers offer this now, and at many concert venues, there are tables where they will train you and send you home with Narcan. You have to be sheltered at this point to believe narcan training is unique to libraries.
