TUCSON, Ariz. - Like many city libraries, the library in downtown Tucson is a crucial refuge for people experiencing homelessness.
But staff at the Valdez Main Library want to be even more of a resource for such men and women.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that the library is now more than a year into its On the Streets program where librarians hold monthly meetings and homeless patrons can get a meal and connect with services.
The program highlights a growing trend of public libraries providing social support in their communities.
