Homless Persons* and Libraries

"It shouldn't be left to librarians to set our policies on the homeless, but when politicians and administrators default on their responsibilities and take advantage of libraries as a way to keep street people out of sight during business hours, libraries should fight back--and that's what [D.C. library director] Cooper is doing now."

- an opinion piece by Marc Fisher in the Washington Post.

*Why the awkward term? That's a genuine Library of Congress subject heading!
