Comment from the contributor:
From The Washington Post --A new survey finds that a number of mentally ill individuals tend to use libraries as day centers. The survey finds that mentally ill patrons make others less likely to use public libraries.
“ Now, the Treatment Advocacy Center, a northern Virginia organization that pushes for more aggressive care and treatment of the severely mentally ill, has published a survey of librarians nationwide in which 85 percent of those responding reported having had to summon the police to deal with disruptions caused by mentally ill patrons. ”
