No sooner did I sign on to the public computer that I noticed a very disturbed man walking purposelessly around the library and making grotesque sounds with his voice. I have noticed this sad trend in Rhode Island public libraries for years . Obviously with the permission of the public library management whole groups of mentally ill youth are being " dumped " in OUR libraries -where regular patrons in the past were always expecting QUIET . If there is anything truly therapeutic about these library visits for mentally ill groups, could not the library staff inform visitors what is going on ? Then the mentally ill kids will not be mistaken for clowning brats . The root problem here is the NEGLECT by the state of the mentally ill -and soon to be homeless . This dumping of mentally ill kids in our public libraries must be stopped . The MAJORITY of library patrons also have rights ( like a quiet place of study).
