Our downtown library attracts homeless people from time to
time. It’s a warm building, it’s open to the public, and it serves as a shelter
from the elements. This is not uncommon for libraries. Well, somebody in local government
has had the idea to add a medical clinic to our downtown library to treat the
homeless who otherwise do not receive adequate medical attention. This all seems practical to me. Bring the
doctor to the people. Maybe coordinate their next appointment with the due
dates on their library books. That type of thing.
The doctors and nurses would have to whisper there. But that
would be more than made up for by the quantity and quality of reading material
in the waiting room.
