This library has checked out.
A public library in California has shut its doors following months of rampant drug use, robberies and even public sex between the bookshelves as Golden State cities are held hostage by criminals.
The Contra Costa County Library’s Antioch Branch that it made the decision to close beginning on Saturday until further notice as the “repeated dangerous incidents” have threatened the safety of its patrons.
“During the closure, the Library will be working to implement further security measures so we can reopen as soon as possible,” the library service said in a statement.
A library spokesperson told KTVU that this dire situation goes beyond typical bad library behavior like talking too loud, failing to return books on time or even vandalism and theft.
“We’ve also had drug activity and drug use both inside the library and on library property,” Brooke Converse, a Contra Costa County Library System representative, said.
“People having sexual intercourse inside the library or on property in full view of patrons and staff. We found bullet casings on library property.”
The Mayor of Antioch, a city of about 115,000 located 45 miles northeast of Oakland, opposed the library’s closure and said citizens were blindsided by the decision.
“No one in the City of Antioch, including the police chief, was informed of safety concerns by Contra Costa County regarding the library,” Lamar Hernandez-Thorpe said.
Library officials told the outlet that the branch is run by the county, who made the call.

Where is Marion the Librarian?! She would’ve stopped this!
Pretty much what a librarian friend said about her Boston-area library. Pedophiles and Lezzies galore...
“Where is Marion the Librarian?! She would’ve stopped this!”
Check again.
Where else but a public library can one get free pornography?
Aw heck!
It sounded like a great place.
I was just on my way there…..
I guess I’ll have to settle for my local library’s “crayons and Coloring Books for Adults” class, instead.
Damn!
In public, no less.
“When my kids were 6 and 7, a perv in the Chicago Public Library on Michigan Ave was exposing himself in the children’s section. I told the librarians and they said there was nothing they could do about it.”
Yet you can be arrested for bring a camera into the public library. In fact up to a dozen cops may respond to a call from the library for that.
How can bookshelves have sex?
Rat World
“We found bullet casings on library property.”
I suppose this is meant to emphasize how dangerous the library is. But how did the casings get there? Any reported shootings? If there were shootings, it should have been a bigger part of the story. Shootings are worse than sex in the stacks. Seems fishy.
The news reporter that the brothers (and sisters) that populate Antioch are very upset about the lack of notice. Where are they going to get laid now?
[What sort of people do this?]
Democrats in D.C.?
anyone surprised, Im only surprised that the invaders aren’t living there too.

Gays definitely, possibly drug addicts too.
Drug addled insane hetero’s do it...but it could be gay “ersatz” sex also. The poor library staff, being captured by the belief that anything and everything is true, cannot comment. They only act if they believe people are physically threatened. What a joke.
Lots of “shooting” if there is sex in the stacks...no?
Everything goes. There is no absolute truth. Why search for it? Just live any way you desire. No common societal survival goal. Drugs,Sex, food. That’s today’s “holy” trinity.
Probably correct.
Like what was videoed inside the Chamber in Congress.
Disgusting Sick crap.
California, where citizens who are hard working, will get screwed by CRIMINALS, which includes POLITICIANS!!
Liberals/libertarians/demonRats.
