Washtenaw Community Health
Organization, are now available at
the library, following Callan's rec-
ommendation.
"We got really clear feed-
back from the library that they
are proud to play that role in the
community, proud to be a space
where all kinds of residents want
to come to," she said. "But, they
really needed more resources and
more understanding of area of
resources to be able to help folks
who are coming here with par-
ticular challenges, especially for
folks facing homelessness."
Josie Parker, director of the
Ann Arbor District Library, said
everyone is welcome in the library.
However, she noted that if a per-
son is a distraction to others due to
impaired and involuntary behav-
ior, help is required to ensure the
library can maintain its status as a
safe place for its customers.
"When we have the numbers
of persons in the library who are
homeless that we had last year,
the incidents of impairment and
persons who are uncooperative
with our staff about their behav-
ior goes up," Parker said. "It's felt
by everyone who's in the library
at that point time. We're trying to
mitigate that. In order to do that,
we've reached out."
As a response to the feedback,
Callan said CSTS was willing to
contribute their services to the
library.
"They were very eager to step
up to figure out how they could be
more helpful to the library to make
sure they have folks more of a pres-
ence there," Callan said.
