Safety in Public Libraries

Working in a public library isn't always safe. Working in the children's room of a public library? Even less safe. Any public librarian can tell you stories of finding men exposed and passed out in the children's room, teens making out (or worse) all over the library, not to mention the drunken/drugged/disorderly people, or people with mental illness, or people who are homeless...all of these (and more) can become problems and have the potential to spiral into violence.
