Pretty good Library. Nice atmosphere. Not too many homeless. The African-American security guard is totally cool 😎. He just goes through his rounds and doesn't bother you - doesn't stare at you.
The other security guard an older Latino gentleman is a little different. He had never seen me before so he started treating me as if I was potentially suspicious. He tried not to make it too obvious but every time I went to refill my water bottle which is right next to the food donation basket which was overflowing the day I was there, he suddenly appeared in that lobby area and pretended just to be standing there but you could tell he thought I might try to grab some food out of there.
Are you kidding me ? I'm not homeless. I dress well. I have a car & insurance , current tags etc. Higher education. And this guy is treating me - the adult 'white boy' like a suspect who might take a box of cereal out of the donation box ?
I'll be 60-yo pretty soon. I'm not there to steal any food. In fact had I known about it, I would have brought some to donate myself.
But if it causes this fellow so much concern, maybe they should move it closer to the circulation desk. God forbid some needy person might grab a box of food out of the donation box before it's been properly routed to wherever it's supposed to go for proper distribution.
