Right, that's the point: it's not the responsibility of libraries, any of this; libraries are supposed to be for everyone, and that's where they should direct their resources (like for access and books and classes and books and outreach and did I mention the books?). Issues like this are the responsibility of the policy makers who fund the libraries (and the people who live in civilized places). [Assuming public libraries, which this does. Private libraries are a different matter, and one that makes me a little leery.]

It looks like the article was reprinted in Street Spirit, too, which is a fairly opinionated publication. I tend to like seeing "the other side" represented in all its biased glory, since we have to read USA Today et al., so we already know about how undesirable undesirables are. I like hearing from the undesirables themselves.
