[The Porter County (Indiana) library system board of directors, apparently realizing that they'd rather not spend their afterlife roasting in hell, has lifted their ban on lending books to homeless children living in shelters.](http://www.bookslut.com/blog/archives/2006_06.php#009239) Sheesh. These people should all lose their jobs for even thinking of something like this. A library should be a place for people to come and have a chance to better themselves or at the least get a break from reality, something I'd imagine most people living in homeless shelters would welcome. They don't need to be treated like criminals and denied access to books, of all things. Shame on this board, I hope they never have to be treated like they've treated the residents of the shelter.
