News of this kind, though a very micro event, is always startling:

Lock the Library! Rowdy Students Are Taking Over

I don't understand why increasingly it is the policy of institutions to close their doors rather than attempt to address the larger problems that are causing the nuisance and/or look the other way. With such a dearth of public spaces in the the typical city plan, libraries are integral as a gathering space, especially for kids.
