We were talking with some friends the other day, friends who spend a lot of their time in the libraries throughout LA County, including the Beverly Hills library, the Glendale Library, and certain Los Angeles Public Libraries, because they have nowhere else to go, because they use e-mail to stay in touch with people, because they are looking for jobs and need the computers and printers, because they need to be near a toilet, because they need to stay in the air-conditioning before they go to their vehicle or a shelter at night, because BEING IN A LIBRARY AMONG PEOPLE and doing something intellectually stimulating helps them FEEL HUMAN.
SO MANY HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF FALLING ALSEEP SITTING UP IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER OR IN A CHAIR, and then the librarian has to come over and wake the person up!
SO WE WANT TO SAY, FOR OURSELVES and OUR FRIENDS, THANK YOU TO THOSE LIBRARIANS WHO STILL HAVE A HEART and WHO HAVE NOT PUT US OUT!
