Libraries are ‘secret homeless shelters’
Where I live, the libraries have turned into free computer rooms, cheap DVD rental stores and a haven for the homeless to wash up and get rest.
Plus, librarians no longer tell people to “shhh”; everyone seems to be talking in loud voices, not whispers.
Many homeless get shut-eye while burying their head in a newspaper and pretending to read. They need a place to wash and go to the bathroom. Since shelters are few and far between, libraries have become pseudo homeless shelters.
I like to call libraries “secret homeless shelters.”
There is not the need for the average citizen to do research at the libraries. Most have Google at their fingertips. The Internet can deliver books, music and movies directly to our mobile devices.
Everything changes. There is nothing wrong with what libraries have become, but it’s a far cry from what they once were. James “Kimo” Rosen

Everything changes, there is nothing wrong with what libraries have become, but sure is a far cry from what they once where.
