Dangerous place to go. I used to really love this library. I'd spend a few hours each weekend browsing books, and my granddaughter was always delighted to check out a few kiddie books, as well. Today was a very different experience and I will not be returning. I was upstairs choosing books when I heard a man yelling profanities loudly. He was seated at the computer area and a staff member was asking him to quiet down. He refused and the staff member went back to her desk. He continued to loudly mutter that he's killed before and he'll do it again. He said to himself (but addressing the staff member, I assume) that he's not stupid and he has rights and continued to say he'll kill everyone in here. He continued on and on. I approached the staff member and told her this man was still behaving erratically and she told me she's aware and that he was really agitated today. He eventually left on his own when he was ready. Why was he allowed to stay? Why weren't the police called? I am still shaken and very relieved my granddaughter was not with me. How sad that responsible citizens can no longer enjoy the public library for fear of mentally unstable outbursts.
