Training programming. They walk the library floors and share their story about how they recovered from homelessness and other issues and how they have utilized the services in San Francisco. Some were Library Patients who were outreach at the library and gone through a Homeless Program in San Francisco and come back once they are stable and address their issues with homelessness and other issues often associated with homelessness and such as Mental Health and abuse and they say i would like to give back. When the program was first implemented the initial plan was for the outreach patients in the Library Bathroom who might be inappropriately using the bathrooms for bathing or drug use. They are not security staff. They are using those interactions to be able to talk to the patron and say, you know there are Actual Community places where you can take a bath. There are places where you can sleep today before the shelter opens up and i have been in your situation before and i can tell you
They do have the social worker on hand. Its terrible to see librarians having to mediate disputes between some irritable patrons. But, all in all, i think the library is a find place and i believe they are doing a great job and are to be commended. Thank you. Any other Public Comment . All right. Thank you very much.
