Once inside, busy, but not too busy.
The Elderly– outnumbering the young, speaking too loudly, not understanding what an overdue fee is and why you aren’t allowed to check out more books unless you pay your fee. At least they got out of the house today, even if to get in everyone’s way.
The Homeless– hanging out next to the bathroom, smelling like…… well, smelling homeless. Eyeing the clean people and wondering what could have been. Now, just trying to breathe in between near overdoses. Tired of getting shooed away by those who can afford toilet paper.
