I live in a city just shy of a million and I'm in Canada. When I was young and naive I scoffed at you fuckers down in the states with your post-Reagan homeless issues. I decided I would study in our newly built ~Millenium Library~. It was of course built smack-dab in the middle of the city, right where we keep all our homeless, poors and browns. The place smelled like piss, the bathrooms were a goddamned biohazard and every 15 minutes on the dot some fuckin' gang banger would make his way past the tables in the study area looking out for unattended things. One time I got accused of witchcraft by a homeless man buying a coffee at the built in cafe. So I decided to try and study in the library in my lovely 70s subdivision, but it was full of old ladies loudly perusing harlequin novels. I haven't been to a library since.

Chicago's got tons of nice libraries; my home town of oak park, suburb/neighborhood of Chicago, got it's library redone a few years back, after housing it for a few years in an old pep boys. It's full of homeless people, but they're hardly offensive.  Man, these library photos are getting me all hot and bothered.

Chicago does have some awesome libraries. This one is at University of Chicago and has a giant robotic storage warehouse underneath it:

most of the stories about creepers looking up porn in libraries involve people who aren't there for shelter, aka have something to lose they're usually just old pervs

This one time I was a kid, I saw this guy on one of the library computers in the very corner of the room with the monitor tilted so no one could see what was on it. He was looking at porn. We all know he was looking at porn.

This is accurate UT has a pretty great library in the main tower building, but it looks like it should be hosting small string quartets rather than quiet students. Be prepared for a fart noise to travel to the other side.

Never found the homeless stereotype to be true but then again I don't give a gently caress about what happens in Chicago, New York, or LA, so maybe in those towns they deservedly have homeless pooping everywhere and wiping with Ulysses and jacking off to heinous porn on public computers, but they deserve that. If you live in those cities you deserve. Actually, physically deserve homeless people making GBS threads all over anything you can find useful, because that's what you are. poo poo and poo poo accessories.

Working at a library is super fun because I get to see all the questionably homeless people who come in and look at pictures of blond Russian women for hours on end, and listen to other crazies talk to me about pink shirts or whatever. Went to the library in Exeter, NH last year, nice outside views and it had a little dog park outside IIRC.

Vim Fuego posted:Were they always like this, or is it just another result of reagan turfing all the chronically mentally ill people out onto the street to die, be arrested or clog up emergency services? Modern Liberals deserve just as much blame. Try to reintroduce institutionalizations and they'll lose their poo poo, screaming about human rights violations, how "it's not a crime to be insane or homeless!", and so on. The Social Justice Warriors of the hard left will protest en masse with every civil disobedience trick in the book if you try to stop the homeless from taking over public property. The insane are members of the public, after all. As for piss and poo poo and puke and wanking off everywhere? "Hey, that's what happens in public places!" Am I wrong?
