Fight In The Library

I did get some sleep last night. I was sent out to Northside Church of Christ. I was able to get a good shower there, and did laundry too. After a week or more of wearing the same clothes, it is incredibly refreshing to be ALL clean.

I cut off yesterday's post in mid-thought, because a fight broke out in the library. It really was only a matter of time before something like this happened. As the library security occupies itself with catching sleeping homeless people, school aged children and teens are allowed to run amok. Really, the idea that requiring kids to behave themselves in libraries might end their appreciation for libraries, or that it would hinder their growth and creativity is absolutely ridiculous. Mostly because this lax disciplinary policy creates an environment whereby NO ONE can read or study or learn anything. When schools let out and the library fills with kids, the library ceases to be an institution for personal growth, and becomes a play ground.

Everyday, the kids are yelling, fighting, flirting, chasing each other, playing tag, making out, talking on phones, and generally socializing - everything but utilizing the library for what it was designed for. But, Hey, at least the homeless can't get away with sleeping in the library. I was able to catch a little video of the aftermath of the fight, and will try to get it uploaded here. Once I get that done, I'll post more about current homeless happenings.
