Some homeless guy and his buddy walked up about 6 ft away from my daughter and yelled at her that she needed to be quiet and NO ONE at the front desk (men and women, at least 3 librarians) stepped in to say or do anything to help me. I called the man out, but immediately went to check on my girl and get my other kids and go. While at the car I was cha
