Where I live, the local municipal library is super-nice. Brand new, well-lit, lots of nice computers and new equipment. Even still, it only took me two visits there before I was sitting next to a 35o-lb man in a gray sweatsuit who was looking at pictures of near-nude women on his computer. This was at like 3 p.m. On I think a Tuesday.
What I’m saying is that public libraries are an awesome place to spend a lazy weekday.

As a librarian, I can attest to these strips as accurate. Awkward weirdos love the library and our free internet access, free/cheap DVDs, and books about birds.
I guarantee that the exotic bird woman(?) would have just spent over an hour making the librarian(s) attempt to locate and order obscure and out-of-print books on exotic birds via interlibrary loan. My branch has a woman just like this, except her areas of interest are dogs and exercise equipment.
Meatball-bag-guy is also a fair representation of roughly 10% of our regulars.

This is exactly why I don’t go to libraries. Though I would like free meatballs.
Libraries are the worst for this. One time I was in the “quiet room” at the library, and this guy was full-on watching a porn movie. After a while he got up and left, but as he walked out he stared at this one particular woman the entire time.
