Library workers punched, spat on: Security incidents on the rise in public libraries, data show

Once seen as oases of calm and quiet, libraries across Canada are becoming increasingly chaotic – even dangerous – with staff often ending up on the front lines of crisis.

Data obtained by CBC News shows there’s been a dramatic rise in recent years in the number of security incidents — things like physical assaults, suspected overdoses, and thefts — at public libraries in Canada’s major cities.

Public libraries in Toronto are just another form of homeless shelter like the TTC.

Of course if they’re hosting Drag Queen Story hour I don’t care what the homies do.
