Homeless are Welcome at Maryland Public Libraries

Anonymous Patron writes “The Delmarva (MD) Daily Times Asks Why are some homeless people attracted to the library? The answer slightly varies from one library to the next.
But each manager will tell you, whether you like it or not, the homeless are welcome as long as they aren’t breaking library rules.

“The idea is that we need to create a safe, functional library for the whole community to enjoy,” said Tom Hehman, director of the Wicomico Public

Library. “Different groups cause different problems. Everybody’s welcome but everybody has to behave.””
