“Our public library is a safe place but what people need to remember is that it is a public place,” said Celeste Choate, Urbana Free Library Executive Director. “So for example we encourage people to keep their possessions with them. You don’t want to leave your phone on the table and walk away because it’s a public place. You wouldn’t do that at Target. That’s the kind of thing I think some patrons forget. They feel so comfortable at the public library. They feel it’s homey and they forget that it’s not their home and that it’s a public place.”
