IS the local Library your friend?

[twylight]

......I think Libraries in Canada double as prisons.


You have to pay and you're harassed by cops.

 

[Deathlok2001]

no, in prisons, you use to get a free tattoo... in the library, you just get poked with a pointed stick!

Actually, in my city libraries, they hire pseudo cops that walk around & if they catch you sleeping, they give you a shake to wake you & tell you your not allowed to sleep in the library & to move on.

that's what the bathrooms are for... sleep in the stalls till closing and then you have the whole place to yourself. tsk tsk.

 

[Deathlok2001]

you can sleep in the University of Alberta libraries!

 

[Ronny Shade]

you can sleep in the University of Michigan Libraries too, but they close for a few hours every night

 

[Immortalfire]

the library is a great place to sleep.. it's quiet, there's air conditioning and if you find the right spot.. you can live there for days at a time.

Only you, Equint

The library is a shelter for the homeless and mentally ill. When I first moved to Seattle, I had no job and work was being done in my friend's apt. where I was breaking the rules of the lease by staying there, so every morning I had to get up and leave before the dudes got there.

So, the only place to go for hours, for free, was the library.
It was traumatic, like Thunderdome. Every day, this white-haired eskimo woman arguing with invisible people about the past, saying "You have NOTHING to muscle with!...nothing to muscle with!" (her catch phrase, we still use it to this day).
Some of the smells made me almost puke. Felt like I'd get a disease just from breathing. I have never seen so many guys that looked like Rob Zombie in one place at one time.
Also a lot of fights breaking out because some idiot was yelling or whacking off, or over drug deals.

Won't be going back.

I think you mistook "Library" for "Crack House"

P.S.

You have nothing to muscle with!

I heard that the library is your friend. So , do you use it? The city library charges a $12 annual fee in Edmonton. It has branches everywhere.

Do you use your local public library?

What are you reading? I might check out..... In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam byRobert S. McNamara

Also, i am going to check out:

In search of Ogopogo : sacred creature of the Okanagan waters
Gaal, Arlene B.
I just LOVE the OGOPOGO. If he were here, I would hug him!

Edmonton has a fairly good library system.

They also have access to the internet that some people should be using.

I never use the library. The problem with those places is that you have to return the book within a set time and I might not have got around to reading all of the book by that time.

I prefer to buy books so I can take my time reading them and then I can re-read them later.

Not all books are worthy of being read too deeply and aren't worthy of re-reading.
