I am very happy about the renovations, but I do agree there is a rampant homeless problem and increasing crime in and around the library. My friend and I wanted to walk at the nearby park at 9 a.m. but chose not to due to multiple homeless campers, some who were undressing. Garbage was strewn throughout the parking lots, and we feared parking our cars due to several shady characters doing drugs. I used to walk there often...not anymore. Also, I fear bedbugs on the chairs in the library since there have been reports of the problem in the past.
