Two Springfield homeless shelters and the head of the mayor’s task force on homelessness are trying to resolve a problem for people who spend the night on the plaza around Lincoln Library – where to store their stuff. Library patrons, including the homeless, have long been allowed to put their coats, book bags, briefcases and other items in a small closet on the first floor.
But the closet got so full that items were spilling out into a hallway, creating a hazard, library director Nancy Huntley said Thursday. So the library decided that only coats and hats would be allowed.
