YES.
I once saw someone point out something I hadn’t really considered before- libraries are one of the only places that are warm and dry where you can stay for long periods of time if you have no money. If you’re someone with nowhere to go during the daytime, they provide a safe environment in which to keep a roof over your head for a while- and all while you can access information.
So yes. This.
At my college library we have a computer area that’s reserved for the homeless only so they don’t have to wait for a computer. There’s a lot of resources that the librarians have behind the desk if someone needs it like where the shelters are and more.
