Was at barnes n noble , there a bum in about every corner rude and smelly
I used to work at a public library from 06 to 2013… nothing's changed. Sounds like you need to address homelessness and mental health problems. Or hire people who don't care.
I think tillamook is the worst for this a homeless guy living in there parking lot for over a month and still there today is on documentaries called the mysterious death of natalie bollinger
In tillamook Oregon this is really bad a guy shawn david lives at the library has for months and is on documentaries about the mysterious death of natalie bollinger.
😂😂that's not ur job..do ur job n their shouldn't be any problems..oregon is open carry state❤❤but some government in oregon is not for the people in My opinion
safer at home. Anyone can check you out at the library
Having no places for the homeless to stay safe and warm during the day will make it so that no one will have inexpensive places, away from home, to stay safe and warm during the day.
Trump 2024 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Down south, I overheard a woman who was about 25, and had two kids with her inside the library during the SCHOOL DAY ask the librarian at the desk "how do I search for a book?"… You search the ALL the shelves in EVERY ROW checking each book one after another lady….Is what I wanted to say to her… 🙄🙄
That’s more than double duty. And this isn’t even the tip of the iceberg. We receive no support and the cops never take us seriously when we report it. I’ve been working in libraries for years and we are literally invisible.
I want to SCREAM in a library.
BIDEN TILL 29 🇺🇸✨
Time 203 " .. not being included in decision making .. "
Well you WERE included in decision making when you voted Dem.
Libraries have always been a safe place for whack jobs. And I’ve never understood the argument that “we can’t have security because people won’t feel welcome.”
A snip now on books and the danger inside them? Poor cheaters fearful of their 'own' shadow world, like owls, because they 'need to be heard'!?
Big Pharma convinced the powers-that-be that psychiatric hospitals were no longer needed. “We have a pill to cure whatever ails you.” Bad move.
Falling books
This is nothing new. Libraries in most cities are magnets for weirdos. I was in mine in Gainesville Florida years ago. When I decided to use the bathroom and a nude man stepped out of a toilet stall and attacked me. I had to fight my why out of the bathroom. He followed me out screaming obscenities. Luckily several others saw what was going on and helped me subdue him. The security guard also helped and we held him down until the police arrived. I never stepped in a library again after that.
A Volunteer at the Lighthouse of the Blind did Classes for the Visual Inspired for local branches of the State Libraries. To Explain How to Fill Out Mail In Ballots. Had been doing it for Decades. But was Banned after the 2018 Election here in this very RED STATE. MAKES YOU WONDER AFTER TREASONOUS INHUMANE COWARDLY REPUBLICANS FAILURES IN THOSE ELECTIONS TRULY FEEL ABOUT THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN A FREE ELECTION 😢🤔🤨
Libraries r adulta daycare centers for the homeless…..been that way along time
This is everywhere all across America from the cities to the suburbs! You can find the homeless at libraries, Starbucks, Panera, Dunkin and the list goes on. Where I lived years ago, they had a van drop off a bunch of homeless at Panera Bread in the mornings. Boy did they love that 🤣.
This social experiment in the last 40 years of increasing peoples dependence of medications for the mind and closing facilities that were meant for the mentally ill has not worked.
You get what you vote for!
Biden's America…
I went to the library to play overwatch when I was homeless
I found out a few years ago that the homeless use the library because it’s free to go in, use the restroom and bathe. I went to Houston downtown library and was warned to be careful because of this concern. I didn’t see any police or security around. I hope these librarians are heard and helped.
Only Portland 😂
