Libraries are for everyone, but one library visitor who actually wants to read wanted Whistleblower to check into the less than desirable conditions at a particular metro location.

A metro area library "has become the hangout spot for a huge number of truant teens and equal amount of people who would at least seem to be small time criminals. The librarians, it's fair to say, are scared out of their wits of these people. The security guards do nothing. Short of a knifing, just about anything goes. Anyone who has legitimate library work to do is in for a shock: there is no quiet to be found here. Worst of all, kids aren't safe there. They can't be. Not with what's going on there. Do something. Please. I have pressed this case with library officials to no avail." Will rowdy kids always be part of a public space or can something be done to curb bad behavior? How far should library staff go to guarantee peace and quiet?
