HATBORO LIBRARY DENIES ENTRY
Went to library 7/16 1:15 pm to get some books. On the way home from the Hatboro Pool. Was wrapped in a very large, dry beach towel, totally dry, wearing shoes. Looked like a wrap dress.My hair was dry and I had makeup on. There were no other patrons in the library; I knew what books I wanted. The younger librarian asked if I had any clothing to put on. When I replied,'no,' she told me I wasn't allowed to come in. I have been to several establishments wrapped in my towel. No one has ever stopped me or denied me entry. This woman must think the library is only for special patrons, not regular community members. I wonder how many students she's denied entry due to what she deemed they needed. There was no dress or other codes in sight. Maybe this 'fancy' library should post, at the entrance, what's allowed to be able to use a facility that our taxes pay for.
Oh, one more thing...there are no. Handicapped Parking spaces at this library. When asked, they responded there wasn't too much room, it would have meant ripping up what they had, and there didn't seem to be a need.
As a local person of 39 years,I will never again even think of using Hatboro Library for anything. An embarrassment. read more
